[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1230258, member: 277"] ^^^^ He is b[I]aa[/I]aack, been a while since a 'Howie post. Be careful when reassembling, there is a torque spec for the hex head screw that holds the shift lever to the housing, but it may be too much. In the stack of parts that go onto the pivot there is a wave washer that is supposed to limit side to side motion of the shifter, if you put too much torque on the components it will flatten the washer and the shift lever will act as if it is still spooged up. The torque spec in the FSM is very small and easy to over do even when a torque wrench (the mother of most FUBARS, unless the wrench is in the correct torque range for the job and the user is experienced in both the feel and art of use) is used. When you tighten the screw (note the lack of use of the term 'torque') just be sure that the shift arm moves freely, and a very small amount of side to side play isn't really a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
