Re: [DML] manual transmission woes

You have a broken pivot bolt. This pivot bolt is accessible from underneath 
the car. you will have to jack up the car. Take care to secure the car from 
falling or rolling, once jacked -- since you will have to be under the car to 
get access to it!

It is located on the chassis between the panel and it is close to the 
passengers side. It takes 10 minute repair it, if you have the part to 
replace it. If you don't have a the part. This part is available from 
several DeLorean part suppliers. It is cheap under $4.00? You can also 
fabricate one if you are handy or have access to a lathe to make one. 

They do break due to the "soft material" that it is fabricated from. I have 
broken two in 5 years of daily driving, so I drilled the last one and 
installed a "hardened" bolt to as a substitute. So far so good going on the 
second year with this modified one.
