I can move my shifter quite a bit in every direction. Already tried the JB weld fix a couple of times but it still gets loose. I don't have a welder, what is the next best way to fix this?
Thanks, Rick |

One solution I found is to utilize an old steering shaft. Take the u-joint off to use at the shaft coming out of the firewall. It uses the same diameter shaft. You will need to cut a slot in the shaft for the sinch bolt. On the shift rod itself you will weld the spline portion onto the end after removing the joint. Once I did this my shifter was much more precise.
