[QUOTE="Valley Vette, post: 108605, member: 1008"] As suspected and expected, there was nothing on the end of the shifter and in this picture you can see the end of the shift cable laying in the tunnel. At this point it would have simply been a matter of replacing the grommet however in my youthful exuberance to remove the old grommet on the end of the shift cable I apparently over-stressed the cable's plastic attachment point which promptly failed (read snapped). So now the solution is a new shift cable rather than just a grommet. I suppose the good news is that the grommet would have cost $25US plus international shipping, and obviously all of the plastic pieces had become brittle with age and prone to failure, while a complete shift cable is a mere $125 Canadian and all fresh out of the package. And by reaching into the tunnel I can shift the gears which is more good news as I expect that the replacement of the complete cable maybe beyond my reach so I may have to drive to a shop. The bad news most likely will be the cost of having someone else replace the complete cable.... Oh well, live and learn, it's 5:00 somewhere! VV [ATTACH=full]9618[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
