My shifter took a lot of force to shift to the left to get into reverse. I changed the transmission fluid and it did not help. Here is how to grease the shifter bushing, which fixed my problem:
- Pull hard upwards to remove shift knob
- Push in on both sides of the bottom of the leather shift boot and pull up to pop it out. It has 4 plastic clips, 2 on each side.
- Pull out grey foam piece
- Yank rubber boot out from hole that it is secured into. Takes some force.
- Lift edge of rubber boot (it does not come completely off the shifter) to find the shift bushing/ball joint. Mine was bone dry.
- Clean the ball joint of old dry grease & dirt. I used a small rag and rubbing alcohol.
- Grease the ball joint/shift bushing. I used white lithium grease (yellow color all purpose grease).
- Shift around/drive around to move the grease around. Mine got really dirty again, so I cleaned it again and re-greased.
- Reassemble in reverse order.
