Hi folks - after this weekend, my truck's got a weird problem... well not sure if it's a problem yet. When I shift to either the 5th gear or reverse, the gear shift lever pushes against the plastic surround. So, I need to use some force to get it into 5th. There's also a slight whine in 5th now, but goes away if I pull out the plastic surround. It's almost like the gearshift has moved ~1/2" to the right from before.
Haven't dropped the skids to take a look underneath yet.. anyone experienced anything like this before or have any ideas what might be wrong? Could there be something with the gearbox mounts or something?
Here's how it looks in neutral, the two arrows sort of show the two things that are pushing each other:
And here again in 5th... the plastic surround needs to be pushed out to get in gear:
Thanks,
Suresh
