Need some 4kq help

[Dave Glubrecht]

But if the shifter is loose and no other diagnosis has been done, look under
the hood at the coupling on top of the trans.  This is a common wear item
and in quite a PIA location.  The problem I have seen several times is that
the ball on the linkage works loose from its cast bracket.  As I recall the
dealer will stock one and cost ~$70.00.
