New clutch installed and now shifter problems?
Well, had the act and findanza installed, then get the dealership to take that out and install a factory clutch. (This is beside the point)
So when I shift into 2nd or 4th or Reverse It will go into gear, but the shifter doesn't stop firmly, it has tones of play and feels really rubbery. I can pull it back and it continues to move, doesn't stop like it is supposed to? All the top gears are fine. Anyone have any ideas what this issue is?

Get under the car and make sure that the rod that is the shifter "support" rod is in place. It might have come unbolted. Feels just like you describe.

Take those 3 bolts that hold it to the tranny off and you will see what it does. You cant shift w/o it. Like a brace for the shifter.

All the way off. I still do not see how it helps in shifting. I think it just keeps the transmission angled correctly.
