I am sure this is not normal. the adjustment in the shop manual says to screw it up or down. Has anyone had to fix this? how did you do it?
thanks steve

You're going to need to remove the upper support from the column, and take the upper part of the rod apart from the clamp. You'll then be able to turn the upper support to adjust it up on the threads. IIRC, the dimension should be approximately 1/16" from the bottom of the shift lever to the top of the support with the trans in neutral.

Does the threaded part of the shifter move in and out of the support when you lift up on the shifter?
I suspect you need a new support. Over time the threads wear out.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
