[Tigers] Loss of 'shift gate' in Top Loader

Rob,

It sounds to me the problem you are experiencing is the adjusting nut of the
shift rods has come loose enough to be out of adjustment. Check out the
TigerUnited website I'm sure they have an article on how to install a 1/4
inch rod (drill bit) to align the shift levers on your shifter then adjust
and tighten the nuts. I'm assuming of course that you have a stock Ford
shifter.

Good luck

Dear Tiger Gang,
Need help in determining a new problem in the Tiger. Was driving home  
from work and shifting perhaps more briskly than I usually do.  
Suddenly, it felt as though the shift gate between gears widened or  
'disappeared'. The car still shifts and stays in gear, but I am afraid  
I may have broken something. Any ideas, and is this a problem that  
could strand the car if not fixed soon - remember I drive the cat daily.
