I think I'll root (in terms of easiest first) for ibub's resolution, then LCraze777's.
Tony2005, thanks for the link.
I did search, using 'gear', 'shifter', or 'manual transmission' but didn't find anything. I'll try again.
Suprised by Morbid's information (our year or newer is a cable, not a rod).
I will have to muddle thru with this problem for a couple of weeks, but promise to post my resolution when I have one.
Thanks again to all reply-ees.
