Well I believe that my problem is definately the shift tower bolt sheering off. I have had a couple of people tell me that there is a How-To on this process. I have searched these forums along with the old ones and the archives and cannot find anything. This is the closest thing that I can find.
- Order the bolt (bolt p/n W702421-S309M)
- Jack up car and remove wheel so you can get to the shift cable ends and pop them off while you're down there
- Support engine and transmission
- Remove Transmission mount (3 bolts on tranny +3 on car)
- Remove shift tower bolts
- Pull shift tower out (unless your car is stuck in gear instead of neutral, in that case add 2 or so hours of cursing, pulling, and violent shaking of the shift
tower to the end of this list)
- Drill or use screw extractor to remove the part of bolt still in the tower (it's very soft )
- use threadlock and replace bolt
- Fish out bolt head (magnet on a string or a Bend-It Magnet ACE harware has them other places prob do to)
- Installation is reverse (use gasketmaker!)
Does this basically cover everything that I need to know or is there more to it than this?
Also I really need to get the car home to work on it and I know that you're not suspossed to drive it while like this, but could the car be pulled home since it is in neutral now or would it hurt it?
