Hey all,

Got two issues that are driving me nuts on my 99 5speed w/145k on the clock.

Issue 1 is that below 2000 rpm I get a stutter. If I keep it on the boil above 2k, then it runs fine, no matter throttle position. However I get an inconsistent stutter below 2k. No CEL the majority of the time, the others it's gone before I can get to the house and check it. Have not done any work yet other than check my MAF (sparkly clean) and order stuff to change coils and clean TB when I get some time off.

Issue B, stock shifter has a lot of side to side play. I think this is leading to some difficulty shifting. Think about 3/4 inch side to side when in gear.

I have the funds to fix it right, these getting fixed would transform the car into a reliable machine.

Thanks in advance
