My shift **** slides down, doesn't hold its self up. I don't have a clue as to why..

 

I don't understand why mine does the same thing. The previous owners wrapped it all up with electrical tape. I pulled the square shifter **** out of another junkyard camaro and it doesn't fit. I has a retaining clip in it. But I don't see a clip for the round shifter *****.
Anybody got some ideas on good aftermarket shifter ***** for the automatics?

 

I like the stock ****. There must be something simple to fix, just need to know what needs fixin.

 

theres supposed to be a clip on top of the shifter that holds the ball in place. mines broke to

 

I think I replaced this clip, but I believe this clip is for holding the button on.

 

Mines so rigged up! I took it off and looked at it... They have a quarter underneath the tape where my button is susposed to be. the only nice thing about the way it was done is I just push down on the whole ****.
But I tried to make one of the square ***** fit. And it no worky.. The shaft is a different size and where the clip goes is total different. Is our ***** actually held on by the button maybe? and the **** is just a press fit onto the shaft?

 

you gotta pull the button and theres a c clip inside on top of the rod that holds the ball there ill try and find a pic

 

look what i found in about 5 mins with the

 

That's a nice diagram. I still cannot see what holds the ball from sliding. I replaced a clip that broke when I took the ball off to fix the ashtray. I have 2 extra clips btw.

 

this is my car, there is suppose to be some permanent tabs or something inside the ball to keep it from sliding down. mine are broken. but this is the clip so you can see what im talking about.
