Re: Loose Gear Lever-96 Lumina

A common place for the lever to become loose is the pivot pin for the lever itself. Make sure the pin is fully pressed into the column. If you place the selector in "1" or "L" you can see the pin fairly clearly at the base of the lever.

If the pin is fully inserted and the shift lever/linkage is still loose, check the shift cable at the transmission. The shift cable is adjustable and uses a metal horseshoe clip in a plastic housing to lock the adjustment in position. It is possible the adjustment is slipping at this connection or at the transmission selector lever itself.
