I drove to work today, and had a shifting problem at the end of my trip. It became hard to find the gear positions, and when in gear the stick stays very loose. I can actually wiggle it about 4 inches side to side while in gear. Could something be loose? Hopefully I can get home before totally loosing shifting ability.

Sounds like you are losing a screw. The one at the firewall connection of the shift rod. Hopefully the hole is not stripped out. I have heard that you can helicoil the piece and be good to go again. I bit the bullet and bought new piece. $$$
What condition are all you plastic shift bushings in? might have dropped on of them out. |
