Hello peeps., tell me , is the nub that sticks out of the front end of the shift tube ( that connects to the shift coupler) supposed to move at all? I thought it was one solid shaft going back. See diagram and arrow. thats were the play is.
I just swapped in a new CAE shifter unit. and it seems that end of the shift tube is moving ( its one a few mms but definitly real), independently of the main shift rod going back.
I do not want to take it all out if thats normal.
(BTW: can this shift rod be removed from the car without dropping motor/transaxle , or without cutting the big hole in the tunnel?). Or is it possible to disconnect the rear coupler, jack up the trans a bit then slide the rod out the back?)
Thank you. Frank
