Re: Oh No, problem shifting

Brad, 

OK I see what you are talking about now with the selecter arms having the 
little plastic caps on the end of them, they were cruded in grease yeaturday 
and today I decreased them and I can see the little plastic things, it looks 
like they slide off in one direction.  I checked the fluid and it is level so 
I have narrowed the problem down to either the shift linkage or a motor mount 
because when I wiggle the linkage a little it will eventually go in so I 
don't think it is anything interal, no grinding or anything. While the car is 
in gear there is about 2 inches of play left to right and about one inch of 
play front to back.  There are a lot of rods and bushings down there do they 
sell this in a kit with all of them together?  By the way, on those selector 
rods with the plastic caps on them, I can rotate them 45 degrees left to 
right is this normal, or is that where my problem is.  Another thing is on 
the bottom of the linkage there is a ball and socket type thing that seems a 
little loose.  Thanks again
