It’s been a while since I got the ole girl out and for whatever reason I don’t remember the shifter sounding like this. It only makes the sound in neutral when you wiggle the stick to the left side in the play zone before you put any pressure on it to make it go farther to shift into 1st. It sounds like the shift rod is contacting right at the base on the shifter. Sounds like metal on metal. I have not taken the console panels off yet to really look, just trying to see if I even need to investigate or is it just normal good to go.

I had this working Sony vcr on a shelf and took it down to clean. Dusted it off with an air compressor and when I flipped it over to wipe the bottom I heard rattling inside. Found this broken piece and spring. Is this fixable? Where does this piece go if so. Thank you!
