Simple question. I removed the gear shift lever from my 79 Midget
and not I cannot get it back into the socket. This is what I
can tell, the lower ball seems to go into the lever thing (technical
term) that shifts the gears. So I can select a gear or neutral. The
problem is that the gear shift lever does not seem to go in the last
1/2 inch. This makes the cap that holds it all in place miss engaging
by about 1/4 of an inch. For the life of me I cannot see what is causing
the hang, if it even is hung up. I have tried wiggling it about and around
and using a rubber mallet in an effort to persuade it back into place.
Any ideas? Also just how far is the upper ball suppose to be in the socket
anyway?
Thanks,
