2006 2.2 5 speed manual. Brand new clutch, very hard shifting, one week and I had to investigate! Found the plastic shaft that holds the actuator had backed out a bit, pushed back, all is working. Only problem, it is broken, won't stay in place too long, is not available through GM. I'm looking for a short through shifter, when I install it, I'll come up with a fix I hope!

 

I thought I had already posted this, sorry can't find it! 2006 LS 2.2 5 speed shifter issue. Pivot shaft on shifter is loose, and keeps backing out causing hard shifting, lubed up, still have an issue with the shaft moving in and out. Pivot shaft on the white plastic piece that extends out to the left to move cables is shot, looking for ideas on fixing it. called local GM dealer, discontinued. It is the plastic shaft that allows the cable actuator to be straight and aligned to move the cables. It is in a steel housing, horizontal plastic bushing, pin, shaft, whatever you may call it. I'm thinking of putting a collared bolt and nylon aircraft lock nut, but access is not that great w/o removing the entire console. Has anyone had this problem, and have a fix before I modify, I'd prefer to keep it stock, unless anyone can suggest a better idea for a fix. I'll even consider an aftermarket shifter assy if anyone can recommend a good one! I can post pics but I'd need to disassemble again to get them.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks, Rick

 

Hope I didn't confuse too much.

I apologize for my confusion, I'm not very forum savy. Just trying to keep my Boys alive!

 

No, not them, I need a shaft that I am having difficulty describing. I'll attempt to add some pics.

 

A photo with the console top removed , is it the shaft with the white nylon bushings?

 

That looks quite different from OP's picture. I think that might be FMG's 2010 SS.

 

I think it is, I’ll look for LS 5 speed shifter

It appears to be an assembly


I located this tidbit in our part number page

Shifter Assembly - upgraded 2009 SS part (including shift handle and shifting mechanism and retrofittable to 2006 LT/LS etc - see install guides in How-to Section) - GM P/N: 25860318 (rumoured to be replaced with a newer P/N such as 25995461, so check with dealer or GM parts supplier first)

Rumoured? Has anybody confirmed this?
