well I finally had time to tinker on her today. Found that the rubber bushing in the shifter handle went for a at some point, so someone just bolted it up without the steel sleeves in the bushing? WTF!. which with all the play there would be why it felt like the shifter was gonna fall off... If you have ever taken one of these shifter handles off you know how big the holes are in them that the bolts go through. to tell you how much play there was my hand touched the radio everytime I TRIED to find fifth.... took a while LOL.

swapped in a modified stock handle I made, and the feel and throw is back to the way it should be.

next I checked the quadrant... Stock.... hmmm, I wonder if it will hold adjustment? took a minute to tighten it up. well pedal feels 150% better... lets go grab a few gears and see if it holds the adjustment....

So far so good, went down the road turned around and pounded her through a few gears and no issues so far.... man what a difference!
