Just buy the Dorman shifter tube and rod kit from Rock auto.

The repair is easier than replacing the column, and cheaper too.

There are a couple of threads here detailing the process.


The trs is probably bad on your transmission case, increasing force required to change gears, and is what is causing the shifter rod issue. The pin holding the shift lever wallows out the hole on the aluminum shift tube, resulting in a sloppy shift lever.

I rebuilt mine in the driveway. Probably took a half hour once I figured out what had to be done.

I seem to recall some utube videos on this, but they may not do it correctly.

look at your trs down on the side of the transmission. Mine seized up, and that’s what caused the problems up in the column.

the Torx screws holding the shift tube loosen too, causing slop. That may be all that’s wrong with yours.

the trs causes hard shift lever movement, excessive force application, and broken tubes.
