Title: play
Post by: Rusty on August 01, 2011, 08:42:05 PM
My 4 door has 73,000 miles (at least that is when the speedo broke) and I have a question to people with younger cars.  If you put the transmission lever in 3 rd gear, how much play is there at the gear shift knob?  Mine has about 6 inches side play .  The problem is if I have someone in the front passenger seat.  I always hit their left knee with the gear lever as it swings over to the passenger side so much when I shift.

Hi Rusty

I can't see a problem with that if you got a nice girl in the passengers seat :-)  cheers Glenn

Hey Glenn, I never could get that pretty girl in the seat next to me, so I decided to fix my sloppy shifter.  Rusty, I just got to thinking.... (stange for me) I have an extra transmission, I took it apart. The shift leaver has the same problem you have, you can fix this one if you want and give me back the one from your car later on.
