Got my shift lever freed up last night and reinstalled. Seems to be working pretty good now. Next issue is to get rid of all the slack in the linkage. Does someone make a kit with all the grommets, springs,washers etc? I searched LMCs catalog and didn't find anything as far as linkage. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 | Don't think you will find the linkage being reproduced by anyone, However the bushings and washers are available at most of the companies that sell parts. May even be available at napa.

Update....I found the bushings.

And I found suitable small short Coil Springs, Washers and Cotter Pins at a local True Value Hardware Store.
