shifter seal leaking on my 97 standard this is no big deal..however the rod going into the transmission feels pretty loose.It will wiggle back and forth about 1/4 inch.Is this normal ?Is there something else I need to look at or replace before replacing the seal??All the book shows is a needle bearing inside the transmisson,is there a bushing on the outer cover where the shaft goes thru??Thanks in advance

Daniel Myers has a step by step for replacing it along with some decent pics. Here is his link to it;

Thanks for the write up and methodology Daniel. Did mine in 10 minutes today, the screw made it a snap. Thanks for the question on how loose they are as well, I was wondering about the amount of play myself. |

Daniel: that write-up was great, now if you could do one like that for the rear wheel removal (with pictures) that would be even better????

I'm not a very good mechanic and I need pictures to go along with instructions. You do such a good job of explaining things for us mechanically challendged few.
