[QUOTE="FireballXL5, post: 1508955, member: 20483"] Doing a little digging today... Decided to pull it apart and 'inspect'... I found that I already have the 'shifter fix kit' bushing... And the shift lever locator bolt was over tightened and stripped out! The bolt had worked itself halfway out... Was barely holding on... And it 'reamed' out the slot in the shifter pretty bad... So... Until I can pick up another shift lever and bolt on top socket... I tapped the hole out to a 3/8 x 16 thread... And filed down a bolt I found laying around to fit the new gap in the shifter...
