Thanks

If your gearstick is loose and you have put in a new shift coupler and shift rod bushing, I would guess maybe the actual shift rod hanger may have detached itself from the tunnel?? Also if your tranny mounts/rear subframe thingy is sloppy change them for new ones too.

If the pin is popping out, replace the whole gearstick.
Wreckers have heaps of gearshift lever assemblies...
even at swap meets... heaps of them...
It always pays to have a spare.....

Maybe the pin has snapped? One end of the pin is round so it cant go through the hold. Are you sure you have put it in properly? Hope that makes sense but that sounds like ur problem... not putting the pin in the right way.can u move the horizontal shift rod up and down? That might be ur problem aswell.
got a new gearstick today and put it in. will be going for a drive shortly and see what happens. hopefully not a long walk home.
