Another idea, if you take the pan down. Where the linkage enters the case, there is a cogged for a better word piece and a roller that slides on it. That is the positive feel you feel when you shift it. This roller is mounted horizontally on a basically spring steel and it is bolted with a 9/16in bolt to the case. Its hard to explain without a picture, but you will get it when you open it up. To make it a more positive shift, get another roller spring thing, cut the actually roller piece off, and bolt it on top of the roller spring thingy already on there. It makes it much better than stock. Wish I could post pictures cuz I have one from when I did mine, I had to take mine out for the ratchet shifter as it made it a wrist breaker when you slapped it forward, but it eliminates the column shifter from falling into the next lower gear in any situation.
