The gear lever RH locating pin/stud (also secures the upper end of the OD
steady bracket) is broken off on the outside of the socket. The gear lever
is held just fine, but I can no longer attach the OD steady bracket. I'm
not keen on fiddling with the frozen, broken-off pin/stud just now, so the
question arises:
Is it okay to operate without the OD steady bracket?
I don't see that the bracket carries any load to speak of. Then again, they
wouldn't've installed one if it weren't needed. Dunno.
