Worn and wiggly shifter
So I'm guessing being 20 years old the very loose feeling / play / side to side up and down wiggle is to be expected o. My wide glide.
The question is ha I g never had one apart what is worn and what parts will make it tight and play free again?
Thanks y'all.

If they are loose everything else will be loose too.

Here is an online parts website (not as good as owning a parts book but close).

Is there a bush that goes on inside the foot peg where the shift shaft is?
Can't find a part number?
Thanks

That's one of the downsides to an online manual.
You can go to your local dealership and look at their paper parts book to get the part number then your dealer can do a search to see if any other dealers have the part in inventory or if the part is available from vintage parts.
With the part number the dealer can cross reference aftermarket catalogs and see if it is available in one of them.
Hope this helps.

I think if the part number is not in the online manual then it's discontinued.

now im thinking maybe part 4 is actually just worn down, hence why its waggling through the footpeg
another pic of it

I guess the shaft goes through the footpeg and could be worn smaller than once was??

You can either get new parts or you can take a small piece of a beer/soda can and put it in between the foot shifter and the shifter shaft.
The second is only a temp fix but it does work for a while.
