It's unseasonably cold here so no work on the car outside yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). Figured maybe I'll work inside on the shifter this weekend. I didn't see a thread on restoring the shifter. Is this something that just requires a good cleaning, or should it be disassembled, cleaned, painted, and new grease added? Pics of mine below.

Back in the early 1990's I installed an Automotion Weltmeister 1st/reverse lockout spring kit, which basically added an additional pair of springs inside the existing pair, for a total of four springs, to increase the spring force pushing the shifter away from 1st/reverse. This was in the pre-internet days, so no online help resources. Getting those springs mounted was a nightmare. My fingers and hands were killing me. I wish I had had Mepstein's procedure then. I can see how helpful it would have been. Thanks for posting Mepstein!
