DIY request: shift select rod bolt
it is really easy to fix this problem before it starts when i install the new gearsets i am going to put red loctite on that bolt and torque the hell out of it some people on here should pull out their shift tower and check their bolt it real easy to do you unhook the 2 dhift cables , there are 4 10mm bolts on the top of the tower then it pulls right out takes less than 20 min to do just make sure you seal the tower back down with hondabond or a good rtv gasket im interested to see if anyone else has a loose bolt i am tryig to get a tsb started with honda tech line if this is a common issue then it is going to be a verry $$$$$$$$$$ issue
doing this could probably help quite a few Fit owners (myself included)

I would think its as easy as what you've quoted states. All Honda transmissions I've worked on use cotter pins to hold the cables to the shift tower on the tranny. Pop those off, then pull up the 4 10mm bolts and it'll lift off. Then you just need to know which bolt it is thats come loose.
