So after getting the rover back home and sorting out the other persons mess... and the mishap with the garage door... I was finally able to fabricate a new nylon bushing for the automatic shift lever. I used a Nylon nut purchased from a local hardware store and after a few unsuccessful tries finally got it right. The trick was drilling out the center before shaving it down getting it small enough to fit in the slot. Now my big wonder is.... do I pull that shift solenoid out before putting it all back together to make sure I can get it into high gear or hope for the best and just put it back together. This is my worry for today....lol.
