Hello Everyone,

I feel dumb for asking this but, does everyone's shifter have a slight bend toward the driver just above the shifter face (dash) line?

I just noticed this and want to be sure it is not something I did or the dealer did. It is very subtle.

Thanks,
Mike

 

The shifter handle twists on, and doesn't have a stop point that lines up straight; you can put it in any position you want. The shifter leans one way or the other depending on which position it's in from park back to B.

 

Right, that I know. I have the sport shift **** and I know it twists on and off as I have taken it off.

It sounds like what you are describing is the shift neck (the metal rod). What I am trying to describe is a slight bend about 1/4 up from the bottom. If you run your fingers along it you should be able to detect the bend (assuming it is suppose to be there).

 

Thanks for clarifying what you meant. I'll have to check it out when I'm in the car later today.


EDIT: I never noticed before, but yes, mine does bend. The neck bends, and on mine visually looks like it comes out of the console at a 5% angle to the right, then just above the shifter plate it bends to the left so that the shifter **** is straight vertical.

 

I have removed my shift **** many times in order to remove the center console, and I've never noticed any bend on the shifter rod.

 

Same here.

i cannot beleive how tecnical some folks on here get but yes my shifter shaft aprox 2 inches down from the **** is bent toward the drivers knee. But so what? What is the big deal it is made this way,

 

Thanks everyone!

 

I asked because my dealer has caused other damage and I never noticed it before.

But I now rest assured all is well

 

I sure understand that we someimes just need the reassurance that "they're all like that."
