No it's not rubbing btw.

 

Spring supports the weight, or torsion bar, whichever it is you have, shock just controls motion.

 

No springs, so where is the torsion bar ? Is that the same thing as a sway bar on a Jeep Wrangler? I know Jeep alot better.

 

Torsion bar will run parallel to the frame, and plug into the lower control arm, where it pivots.

 

What length torsion bar do I need?

 

No clue. I would take a look under there, and try and figure out exactly what is going on. Torsion bar may be fine, something else may be bent/broken.

 

UPDATE:The torsion bar is definitely bent. I ordered all the parts and now I wait. In the mean time I called around hinting for a shift tower and the only place I can find one is the stealership for only $265.00....... EFF THAT!!!! I'll have no choice if plan B fails.
PLAN B: 5,700psi cold weld epoxy. I covered each side of the break in and even coat, let harden the overlapped the break inside and outside of the break and let harden. Once it's finished curing I will install and update again. I figure it's worth a shot.

 

Kind of weird the shifter breaking like that to me it shows some powerful shock was applied to it. That shifter is going to be hard to find if the glue doesn't work out. I suspect you have more bent suspension parts than you think.

I live in AZ so a search on http://car-part.com shows a floor shifter for a 2003 at this place https://glendaleparts.com doesn't say for what manual trans for $75 they should ship if needed.

 

Thanks for looking Dakaz, but it looks like the epoxy is going to hold up. I agree that there are likely a number of things I can't see that ate bent/broken. So far my list includes

 

For what you paid for it, I think you can sink a fair bit of money into it before you are actually under water with it.
