A friend of mine that lived across the street from me had a '63 Nova 3 on the tree in high school. One Saturday morning, I hear him back out of the driveway, grind it into first (no synchro) and start up the street... the clutch goes in, I hear a clunk as he's going for 2nd gear, then revving of the engine, but he's not moving... Next thing, he's coasting backward back to his house. I came out to see what happened, he got out of the car, SLAMMED the door, and he handed me the shift lever!! I almost lost bodily control from laughing so hard... Good times! Good luck to you!!! |

Re: Help a girl out
Depending on where it broke off at, I had one break once and used a vise-grip temporarily (actually for a few months) as a replacement until I could get it replaced. It is a little unwieldy, but it works.

Re: Help a girl out
One cold morning I let my truck warm up in neutral and when I went to put it in reverse...puuuullllll-SNAP! Broke the ball stud off inside the column. Gunked-up bad. A non-tilt auto shifter is interchangable but the root cause may still need to be addressed.
