I have..... taken the shifter out, taken the detent ball out, taken out both switches, taken the top plate off to expose the ends of the shift rods, jimmied, beaten, pryed, cussed
, jumped up and down
put it all back togeather and taken it apart again. the only thing i havent done is shove my weiner in it(history tells me that that only makes things worst
) I am looking for off the wall ideas  that someone not as pissed as me would have overlooked before i have to pull it out or just send it to the crusher
sorry but i needed to vent, thanks, i'm better now
