Subject:      Shifter came unbolted from floor
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I paid off a local mechanic to fix my engine, but today, my gear-shifter
came totally unbolted from the floor. The shift lever is still securely
bolted to the linkage, but the nuts that secure the shift-lever housing and
the lower gearshift mechanism housing have totally vanished. The gearshift
mechanism housing is just kind of laying there on top of the spare tire.
The bolts on the shift lever housing are still in place, but their threads
appear to be partially stripped. Unfortunately, I am too stupid to read the
shop manual in depth, so I am wondering how big these bolts and their
corresponding nuts are, so I can find replacements tomorrow. Also, what
else should I be looking at while I'm in there?
