so i was driving down to south houston to pick up my new home theater receiver and ended up stopping at a mitsubishi dealer that happened to have a graphite '04 6 spd on the lot. so, seeing as i'm inches away from deciding which of the multiple xfires to buy in houston, wcalvert and i stopped to look. got in did the normal check of everything: headlights, brake lights, turn signals, interior, motor, etc. then i went to check the reverse lights so wcalvert went to put the car in reverse and the whole thing (shifter ****, boot, and plastic panel surounding the boot) released from its desired location and was just... there. needless to say it took a minute to get the **** back on teh shifter and everything back in place...but this just boggled my mind.

i wanted to see if anyone else had encountered such an issue with their 6spd and if so what did you do to fix it?

because honestly, nobody wants to make a circle when they should have just backed up...
