I've read the earlier messages about the loose shifter and since mine has the same problem I checked it out today while I was doing a bit of work. My tranny shifts just fine by hand with the linkage off. When I use the lever on the column the lever is real loose, like it's come unscrewed or something. Sometimes when I put it in park it will jump back out into reverse. Once I get it IN park though it stays put. I've never had it jump out after being securely in park. I didn't notice any serious play in any of the connections from column to tranny under the hood. Also recently my turn signal has lost the ability to turn itself off as I straighten the wheel from a right turn. Left turn signal still shuts off automatically. Should I look into a whole column or is it worth it to dig into this one?

Thanks in advance.
