I didn't get a response earlier, but I'm sure someone knows. How can you
adjust the shifter ball on the 5-spds? When I tighten mine, it goes 1/8
turn too far. Can you take the top or the shift pattern off, tighten the
jam nut, and put everything back together? How does the shifter ball come
apart, if it does? Someone please get back to me, it's driving me crazy.

Subject: DML: 5-spd Shifter Ball, How?
If there's no such thing as a stupid question, this is likely close. I
was banging gears today in the 4.7 5-spd when I spun the shifter ball around
counter-clockwise. Well, when I tightened it back up, it's 1/8 turn past
level. If I put it back to the original position (give or take a turn) it's
not tight. My S-10 had a jam nut under the ball, and the dak seems to have
one under the shift pattern, but I can't get to it. Can you take the top
off the shift ball, tighten the jam nut, then put the top on, or what? It's
bugging the bejezus out of me, but I can't figure it out.
Side note - I put in my starter kill this weekend.. 5-volt control so it
doesn't drop out when you hit the starter. I put a latching relay in w/ the
button in the cubbyhole under the right-side 2001 vent - very stealthy and
nice fit. Ignition on, hit the button, then crank. The relay stays closed
until the ignition's cycled again. Anyway....
If anyone knows how to adjust the shifter ball, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Crit
