Column Shifter Ball and Joint Linkage
Hey guys,
Looking for some information on the Ball and Joint linkage for the column shifter. Basicly the ball linkage can be pulled out of the joint very easy, which some times it will pop out while shifting. I'm not sure what piece I would replace, or if there is some thing I can put on it to make it a tighter fit.
In the diagram of the below thread the linkage piece I am talking about is number 20.

I have also attached a picture.
Not sure if I need to replace the adjustment block, or if there is some thing else that needs to be replaced.
Also is this suppose to be a ball and joint fit, or is that supposed to fit all the way through the other side and linked with a cotter pin or something.

Been so long since I have been underneath...Let me check photobucket and see if I have a photo that will freshen my memory.
Give me a few.....
I think this is it. Out of focus because I could not get my head in there to look - just stuck phone underneath and snapped. It appears to be held in place with a c clip or something. Not entirely sure, but no cotter pin and don't recall a ball and socket arrangement.
If this doesn't help, let me know and I will go out to garage and double check when I go out to replace headlight bulb on wife's car (cop had nothing better to do last night at 11:00 than hassle me about that!).

Here are two more pictures. In one of them you can see the end looks like a ball. This fits in the flat piece where the hole is and sits in there. I can't get it to go all the way through, so i'm not sure if its suppose to or not. But it pops in there fairly easy and will stay as long as i'm not rough on the shifting.
