So I’m in neutral sitting at the red light at transit and main on my way to get a gasket for the pool light. Light goes green, I start to shift to first and the shifter goes limp. Big old shift knob flops over held in place only by the leather boot. I’m still in neutral, rummaging around the shift boot trying to find some stub that will allow me to get the car in gear, any gear. Manage to get the car into second and limp it home after finding 3rd.
That grayish rectangle blob would be the snapped off metal, it’s now divorced better half still bolted to the transmission in the car, providing me one of the shortest throw most awkward shifters on earth until I get it replaced.
:banghead:
Before the “lay off the roids” comments, looking at ls1gto.com I guess this is pretty common. At least it will be a simple fix once I get the part. Hopefully the part doesn’t have to come from down under.
