ok, so I have a broken shifter and pending finding a replacement, I'm going to fix it with a long piece of all thread don the shaft. BUT... I went to remove the screwdriver I had been using and all of a sudden the nylon pivot comes adrift. BTW: Turbo-diesels are apparently different from other gear shifter arangements. I looks like a nylon ball & socket joint, but the ball has come out. So should I just whack it back into place? Or is there a better way? (I've tried to do this with a box-wrench and a mellet, but not too hard becuase I was nervous about damaging anything else.) So what should I do? Or are there any good diagrams of what it should look like anyway? Help! Howard 1990 Caravelle TD |
