Lenny,
I saw the post and wanted to point you over to the Townsend Import's website, too.
Here's a quote from Tom Townsend's page on shifters:
"Make sure you check the rubber shift coupling at the junction of the shift shaft from inside the car and the one going in to the tranny, located just above the power steering rack on the left side of the engine compartment, best accessed from below. Watch the coupling as someone moves the shifter from the 1-2 gate to the 5-R gate. If the coupling has a problem, you will see the shaft from inside the car turn more than the shaft going into the tranny. You may be able to see the coupling separate.
"These rubber bits often break between the two metal pieces and the rubber. Result is a sudden inability to get either 1&2 or 5&R as the coupling separates instead of turning the tranny shift shaft. These rubber bits are available separately. A good emergency fix is to use two common hose clamps around each end of the coupling clamping the shafts together."
This text can be found in the "9000" heading--but applies to 900s too--on the webpage, linked below. Hope this helps!
