Title: shift linkage problem
Post by: lcgtrplr on August 14, 2007, 11:05:00 AM

got a problem. car has been tricky to get in reverse but today im trying to back out of my parking spot and i cant get it into reverse....i may have tried a little too hard because the shifter went loose all around and wont engage any gears at all. i think it is the linkage...question....how is the linkage accessible?   thanks for the help

Get under the car and/or pop the shifter off, remove boot, remove insulation, etc.
