Gots a problem with my shifter, given how I don’t have much work to do until the big rebuild I started tinkering.

Why is it rusty? Anywho, the problem is that the shifter is not holding its place in gear. Likely out of alignment/worn parts. A lack of lubrication also needs addressed. Ready to go except I can’t get one of the bolts loose from the bottom because it is freewheeling. GM EXTRUDED NUTS AGAIN. Time to break out the dremel.

Except no, because I can’t find it. This is what my dad’s garage looks like.

I am starting to think this was a bad purchase.

It’s not a Pontiac slap shifter, is it?

I replaced the bulbs, the LEDs work super nice, make the old gauges look amazing.

Factory, with the ratcheting function.

Those bolts are going to give me nightmares. Kroil is your friend. Or a dremel with lots of spare cutting wheels.

Oh so that’s what the original screws looked like to attach the plastic cover... And you have a functioning light? Jealous!

I’m contemplating mixing on and kroil into some wonder spray.

Somehow. I am more and more amazed at the stuff that actually works.
