Hey

and now tonite, the entire thing is like really lose, like if i take the boot off and look in, where the steel shaft meets that white ball looking thing is where its lose.. the ball is lose connecting it to whatever it is connected to..
anyone kno? past experiences... i plan on taking it in monday morning to see wtf is going on, but for now im fuct cause i dont want to drive it incase something gets fuct hardcore
15.1@90.34mph

15.1@90.34mph
the only thing i can think of is the o-rings on the top/bottom of that white ball looking thing, i had a problem with mine when i installed my B&M shifter. The shifter got hella lose and would only shift gears if i pushed down on the top of the shifter to hold it in place.
I had same problem for a week. to get it to go into 1st gear i had to go into second then slide it into 1st!!
do u guys think its cable problem?

help will be appericated
thanks

I can't imagine how the center "ball" or pivot could be loose unless something is broken, such as the retainer which holds the pivot cup in the shifter base or the cup itself could be damaged. Sounds like you need to remove the shifter from the car and figure out what is going on. Directions on how to remove the shifter are available at Wild Weasel's website. It also has some good photos of the shifter so you can do some comparisons.

i had the SAME problem...wouldnt go just into 1st..had to either put it in 2nd then slide it or i had to let the car roll a bit and it would pop in....i changed my cables..no change, i just took my tranny apart for a rebuild and put it back together so ill let you know if anything changed this weekend
Does anyone have an update or idea on this problem?
My car is doing the same thing (where I have to shift into 2nd before I can get it into 1st). Everything else seems fine, but it's really annoying.
Ideas?
Thanks

I haven't had that problem since my B&M has been installed.
