1. Pick up and install a new set of rubber/teflon/plastic (it's a
combo pack) bushings for the linkage.

2. Pull up the shift lever boot and inspect the shift mech PLATE so
that the holes line up, look to your Bentley manual for details.

3. Make sure you don't have sagging/ worn motor mounts as these can
realign your linkage.

4. The advise about the little ball in the front part and the shifter
mech. itself being work are good ones.

5. Only as a last resort should you readjust the splined end of the
shift relay shaft.
