This may just be my imagination, but it feels like I'm find all of my gears a little farther to the left than I was last week. In particular, for second I have to nudge into the anti-reverse springs a just a bit. There also seems to be a large expanse to the right that will slip into fourth.
I haven't pulled the boots off to check the shifter bushings, but I gave a good shake at the firewall and tranny and everything seems solid. Again, this may just be my imagination. I drive the teener and my Ranger about 50:50 and either one feels odd after driving the other. Thanks |

Also check the shifter universal joint bushings in the rubber boot at the firewall. If these bushings have never been replaced they will need to be. When they fail shifting becomes almost impossible.
