[DML] Re: movement in the gearbox

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That much movement is too much. Check out the rubber bushings on the
linkage where the bolts connect them and the pivot bolt if it is too
loose. Check the whole linkage system for any loose or worn parts.
Check the level of the lubricant in the transmission. Some owners
claim changing to synthetic gear lube solves the cold morning shifting
problems.
