5 sp. Shifter Replacement
I have a 1997 4.2l 5 speed. The shifter has developed an extreme amount of free play and feels as if it's in neutral even when in gear. This occurs in all gears and I have missed shifts as a result of this. I am wondering if anyone has replaced their shifter because of a similar problem and if they found an aftermarket brand such as Hurst or B&M.

Rich,
The problem is not the Shifter. It sounds like the problem is in the Shift Control housing. Mine started doing like you describe and finally the shift pins broke.
