Maineah Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If the shifter just moves around and is very sloppy it's lost the plastic bushing at the end of the shifter. Pull the boot off and there are 3 bolts that hold the shifter in pull the stick and there will be a ball shaped piece on the end the bushing snaps on they are a bit of a pain to get back in don't force it when it's right it slips in.

Derek up North Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 What are the ends of the two shafts that (maybe) supposed to be connected? Threaded? Does it appear that some 'bits' that might have connected them together are missing? Broken? A picture sure would be worth a thousand words!
