Your timing is perfect with this.  Just yesterday we were camping in Seward,
AK 125 miles from home, I went to turn our `87 Westy Syncro around in the
entrance to a day use State Park parking area when the shift lever broke off
in my hand.  Had to drive home using a vise grip pliers and a phillips screw
driver as a shift lever.  Upshifting worked well but downshifts to second
and first were challenging.
