My shift rod linkage cover has a crack and is leaking. It looks like I'll have to disconnect the rear linkage to change it out? Is that difficult to do? Also, which lubricant and how much do I use when I do? Thanks as always.

Not difficult, loosen the band & pull the cover down so it rotates on the shaft
use a 6mm (?) allen to remove the cone screw from the coupler Similarly pull back the the boot from the front side of the shift rod at the firewall & remove the cone screw then remove rod. Keep in mind there should not be significant oil inside the cover If there is your shift console shaft seal is bad & will need to be replaced |
