There are plastic bushings in the base of the lever , as long as you're replacing them , replace the plastic bushings in the tranny to shifter linkage now too .

We're having strange symptoms with Sylvia - the gear shift lever is vibrating and "ratlling" between 1000RPM and 2000RPM. Seems to happen in idle and D until shifted into 3rd or 4th gear. No change in engine performance or transmission behavior otherwise. What would cause the shift lever to rattle/vibrate enough so that you can feel it and hear it? Holding the shift lever against the edge of the shift-way suppresses the noise but you can still feel it in the lever. Goes away at higher revs and when accelerating...
Any ideas anyone? This 300K mi+ engine just drove round trip from Florida to Boston (2400+ mi) and back at an avg of 24MPG w/ AC the whole way.....so it's healthy but getting worried about this new behavior.
Cheers...
Barton
