Subject:      1990 TD gear shifter problems
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"


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!
