I shattered the end link and that is considerably stronger than a zip tie.

The lengths some of you people will go to "fix" your car, and for what? The part to fix it right is ~$8. It lasted for SIX YEARS but somehow that is long enough? And you expect the zip tie/e-clip to last longer? To save $8??? Your wife's safety is worth $8?

Some of you shadetrees just need to suck it up and realize that sometime it really is OK to visit the parts department.


EXACTLY

Installing the right part for $8 will take a lot less time than trying to find this part, that part and fooling around with different size washers, different thickness peices of rubber, etc. to get it right.

the back and forth play on my knob is real noticable.


The "play" is due to the gap inside the end link and the shift tower prong. How do you eliminate the play? Spend $8 for the end link.
