How do you think the dealer replaces parts when you bring it in for a service call? Not every mechanic knows the entire build of the vehicle.

Good point I will drop them a line, they owe me for a day of service that never happened, drove two hours to have them try and find a rattle, had an appointment and when I returned to the dealer in the afternoon they hadn't put it up on the rack yet! so much for scheduled apointments!

The knob on the 5 speed is welded to the shaft. The shaft can be disconnected near the bottom. I was going to do as Tower suggested, then weld a nub on the top of the shaft that would accept the new knob. I just haven't found the time for it yet.

And my dealer is a hour from my home, I usually save up my problems then spend the whole day there. I wish they had one closer.

My dealer is two hours away so I am in the same boat. The sales guy was great but the service department still needs to prove themselves. I brought my truck in for a noise that was hard to pinpoint, specific RPM under load, bla, bla, bla. I had an appointment and they waited until just before I had to leave to put it on the rack even though my sales person told them I had a two hour drive to get home, go figure... Maybe I can get them to do some things to make up for the dissapointment.
