My shift lever in the 6 conversion is broken. It's rotating and looks like the weld broke free. See video to see what I am talking about. Can this be welded or would it just be better to replace with a recoditioned unit?

weld it back up
Had the same thing happen to mine a couple years ago.
They werent welded but epoxied. Weld it. It'll never happen again
Be sure you get all the epoxy off before you weld it. You could zap it with a MIG ot TIG and do it right in the car. Won't get hot enough to hurt the plastic down below.

Thanks everyone!
I had the same thing happen. I mixed up some JB Weld and it has been holding for years.

West system epoxy worked like a charm. JB weld would work well. There is a lot of contact area for the epoxy.
