Howdy there,
My stick-shift lever is about 3" lower than it was before my sister borrowed
it, and reverse is very easy to get into.  Upon further inspection, the
lower 1/2 ball and stuff that is contained in the shift housing has crumbled
(like a fine feta or blue cheese, but without the smells).  How hard is the
replacement of these parts? Can I do it all from inside the bus? Or do I
need to crawl under her to do it?  Can the stick-shift lever be removed from
inside the bus, as it looks like I will need to slip the parts on it?

I doubt that Ron carries these parts, so off to the dealer to be reamed....
