Hi Jim,
There are rubber bushings that mount the shifter extension to the transmission.
These tend to degrade, or even be missing altogether, though on a 16K mile car
I donâ??t know. The test is to lift up on the shifter, if it has play, they
are probably shot. That will make it hard to find gears, particularly getting
past the lockout for reverse.
Urethane (and other material) replacements are available. They can be replaced
without dropping the transmission, either from under the car or from above. It
isnâ??t a fun job, though.
