Gear shift broke free

Post by ottopiloto »

Hi guys, I somehow broke through the bottom plate and the guts of my shift assembly are hanging out.
At this time I am alone and in a shared garage, hoping for any tips to pulling it back up and patching it together.

I had the nut come loose about 15 years ago, and I was more enthusiastic. Now I'd like to get her roadworthy and salable.
Any suggestions on parts suppliers?
Thanks. Pete

You should be able to service it from under the car without much issue. It is a good enough opportunity to change out the driveshaft donut if it is worn or showing cracks. Parts suppliers, autoricambi or Chris Obert. But use whoever you like.
