Chances are yer's is just rusted up. The 88-'91 use an exposed lever arm that will lock up if not used regularly. On the '88, I couldn't get in to N or 4L at all.

Got the dang thing out. Had locktight on it with heavy rust.

First used a 1/2" drive 15mm socket to break loose, then used a box end wrench a million times to get the thing a half inch out.
Got a new toy to finish the job!

I drove it in a little bit and then reversed quickly and it drew the bolt right out.
This was the then rusty shift arm that I had to hang on to come out.

I then used a die grinder to take off the rust.

Had to bust out the dremel to get down in there best as I could.

Shopvac and a magnetic screwdriver took care of all the greeblies down in there and I covered the whole deal in grease. To put the shifter back in I used a little mirror on a stick to line up the hole and then spreaded some antiseize on the threads. Slipped right in and used the new toy to drive it home.

No more need for ***** slapping, :doh0715:, as the shifter can now be treated like a fine woman... :thumbup
