Re: 2004 Crossfire just bought for cheap.
Just found this posted by Phil Alveriz:
managed to find the page on the shop manual where it describes the mechanism. the text says:
"The floor shift (2) is connected to the transmission by a coupling module (13) and supported on the body tunnel so
that it can move via a swivel lever (3). This prevents transmission of vibrations and noise to the floor shift and to the
tunnel by means of rubber mounts on the coupling rod, shift rod and the two swivel levers. The selector movement
is transmitted from the shift lever to the inner shift module (12) in the transmission by the selector cable (4) and the
shift movement is transmitted by the shift rod (1). Both transmission components are maintenance-free."
wonder what that "maintenance free" means? for how long?
Continued:
just found here this: https://www.yourmechanic.com/questio...-move-by-sue-b
"When a shifter becomes hard to move, it is usually the interlock cable. AKA,shift cable. This cable slides in a housing and connects directly to the transmission. When this cables becomes worn, it gets hard to move inside the housing. There is also a shift lever assembly, which is what you are grabbing when you move your car in and out of gear. Both of these are the main culprits with hard to move shifters. "
This was an interesting read for me!
