Shift linkages on columns... they wear? That car has to be one of the last models with three on the tree...
Yes mine does fine i replaced the shift linkage bushings and adjusted the hash out of the column it shifts like butter and gets good economy on the interstate. Decent around town economy the three speed manual has a lower 1st than a 700r4 which helps on take off considering the high gearing in the axle.
