Default Shifter problems

I have a 94 6 speed car and I am having poblemsshifting into 3rd and 5th gear . The shifter feels like it has play in it. I I was wondering if there was a bushing that may need replacing and if so where can I find one .I was also wondering if an aftermarket short throw shifter would cure my problems. What would be the best shifter to get ?

If you are having trouble getting it into certain gears that usually mean bad synchros but 5th is an odd gear to lose a synchro in.

[:@]The preemptive dog teeth are most susceptible to damage when the clutch hydraulic system becomes degraded. The sensation of notch shifting is more prevalent when the sliding collar's preemptive dogteeth become worn or badly deformed. Advanced stages of preemptive dog tooth wear may result in gear engagement difficulty due to metal burrs restricting normal movement of the sliding collar. This condition can also cause partial engagement of the dog teeth resulting in unexpected gear disengagement, In any such circumstance, discontinue use of the problematic gear until necessary repairs can be performed. This may save lots of money in additional parts when repaire. http://www.zfdoc.com/techinfo.htmgreat info soundslike this is your problem[:@]
