  • Wear has a big effect on shift lever movement. There are bushings at both ends of the shift rods that wear, the ends of the shift rods wear, and the mechanism at the bottom of the steering column can wear. Ross (ALBUQ F-1) did a great write up a while back on getting this stuff back to new.
Thanks for the tip!
