Need some 4kq help

It will be messy and awkward, but working hard I'd wildly guess about 1
to 8 hours.  I'm sure I've looked up the parts cost by now, but I can't
remember them.  being even more reckless and simply making up a number,
I'd say you need about $30 to $100 worth of parts at the dealer to do
this.

It's about time people started doing this, as so many old 4kq shifters
have become so sloppy!  I have measured up to 5" of left-right play at
the knob, while in third gear.  Yuck!  A few adventurous sould "going
first" ought to get the bugs worked out so it is easier and manageable
for those less experienced.

rpm dependent means engine stuff, speed dependent = drive train, broadly
generalising.
