Subject:      Revised shift lever bearing

* Beginning with 06/88 production, the centering holes (arrow) in the shift lever bearing have been deleted.

Revised shift lever bearing, adjusting:

* loosen nuts (not shown). * turn shift lever bearing to right or left until mounting studs contact ends of slots in bearing (arrows) * tighten nuts to 10 Nm (7 ft lb)

Further adjustment of the gearshift lever is to be conducted as described in the repair manual.

Note The revised shift lever bearing can be installed in vehicles beginning with 10/82 production. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Joel's note: this 'bearing' is the little oblong shaped plate at the bottom of the shift lever, under the rubber boot, with the little 10mm bolts holding it to the floor of the car. on 1980-1987 models, it had two little 'alignment' holes in it. the 'newer' ones don't have these holes, and don't have much in the way of adjustment. ............................................................................
