My shift handle has issues. First, the button has to be pushed really far in to operate. It also makes a nice crunching noise when pushed, and when shifting. It also seems to be wobbly, as if inside the T, the pieces are broken. I have replaced the T once years ago, I think from Kirban. It came with the T, button, chrome ring, and U clip, maybe I purchased some of it seperate. When I did the replacement, I remember the white plastic piece that sticks up from the chrome stalk had a worn spot right on top. I put a little hd silicone lube on it to prevent further wear.
To fix these issues, I'm guessing inside the T are cracked broken parts, which I don't want to remove until I have a replacement. Poston sells a "complete shifter handle" PECSH1115, but says the slide is not included, and a "shift lever rod extension" MC22205. The extension will solve the worn white plastic part, but not getting the slide may leave me without a part needed.
Then there's the aluminum replacement shifter handles from tr custom parts Shifter Handles
I also found, for $150?? a "shift handle rebuild kit" eBay Motors: 1987 GRAND NATIONAL SHIFT HANDLE REBUILD KIT (item 130238399005 end time Dec-09-08 20:51:22 PST)
Any suggestions, advice will be appreciated.
