Noticed my shift knob was getting closer and closer to my leg / steering wheel. Twisted on the lever and got it straight again. Now it's loosening up and rotates whenever I pull it into first.

In most cars I've had, the bottom of the shifter was flat or keyed so it couldn't rotate. I haven't had this one apart yet, so not sure what's supposed to hold it straight.

How does it come apart? Three bolts at top of plate to pull it up? Linkage has to come loose? Any tech articles? Sorry for all the questions... I won't get a chance to look at it until tonight and just thought I'd fish for some tips ahead of time.

I bet you have a short shift kit. I have had this happen on two cars. The shift rod is JB welded into the ball in the shifter assembly. Check it out.
