I would check first to see if it isn't this part that is the trouble.
The plastic tab and the metal tab it covers are what rub against the
reverse gear lockout guide. When the tabs are worn down enough it could
let the lever mover over to reverse without having to be pushed down.

>> I have this transmission stick shifter that when I pull it to the 1-2 position, often easily jumps over to face the reverse position.  I guess, there is something that supposed  to stop it there but it�s not resisting enough and lets it to go to the left too much where reverse is.
>> Question; can this be fixed without taking the tranny apart or it�s and �inside job�.  And what would it be called if I want to find it in the book.
