2savage Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The 1973 240Z I bought recently has a gear shift that is very loose. It seems that the lever should have a sleeve around the pin that keeps it in the transmission and there should also be some shims or washers either side of the lever to further improve it's location. I'm new to Datsuns; can someone please confirm my suspicion of missing parts? If they are missing, where can I source them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
