whacky shifter
I've got an 85 ranger with the manual 5-speed. The shifter is whacked. It seems to completly lose and I can only find 1st and neutral.
Is there a way to rebuild these things? I've taken it apart once and I'm about to again. There a small ball on the bottom shift lever and I don't know if that's the part that wears out, any help would be appreciated.

i had the same problem with my 87 ranger. the reddish colored ball at the end of mine was all torn up and i could see the metal of the shifter. i tried taking it off and putting it back on a few times, which did nothing. you will have to find a new shifter. i got one for 20$ at a junkyard. you will definately tell the difference if the junkyard one is good because the end will be less ball shaped and more cylindrical and flat on the bottom.
