Help. My 901 side shifter (its connected to a 2.7l 6) has suddenly (within a day) gotten very sloppy. It was actually working pretty well as 901 boxes go, but now I've got 4-5 inches of play when its in gear. Any ideas as to what happened?? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Looks like you'll have to check everything. I suggest you check the shift rod universal joint at the engine firewall. If the bushings in the joint are old and brittle they can break down and literally fall apart in chunks. Mine did this several years ago. Should this happen the amount of play in the linkage immediately increases greatly.
