Column Shifter Problems - Please help: I am frustrated

[Harold Shepard]

There is some adjustment at the shift arm's lower connection point in the engine compartment on the column itself,7/16 bolt I think- you have to loosen and move the arms forward to tighten the mechanism, the bolt at or above the bearing will take some of the slop out but this generally does not fix the problem, every three speed column I have owned needed a shift tube and or new bushings as well.
