Inspect the shift lever, isolator, connector hardware, detent springs, and for FR/FRO models, the shift block bolt and interlock key interference.
Check for loose, broken, or binding components, including detent springs and shift block bolts, and inspect for correct part numbers.
Inspect the stub lever, shift blocks, and tower O-ring; check if the shift lever stub jumped out of the shift block.
Inspect shift lever boots, isolator, connector hardware, cab air ride mounts, detent springs, and ensure correct part numbers.
