Several hydraulic lifts and new tools to loan for a for $15 an hour. Sooooo being I don't want to flop around on my back to install my new/used 6-speed shifter guess I'll be out there next week.
Just hoping the shifter or tranny bushings are the problem when shifting 1st to 2nd gear. "No grinding," just hard time finding 2nd gear slot. "If" shifting to 2nd gear, and lifting the shifter slightly upward, I can usually find 2nd gear. That's why I'm feeling it's tranny bushings or worn out shifter with 175k on it.
