Hi, I was wondering what the dealer did to fix your shifting into 5th problem. I have a 94 900s which is tricky to get into 5th.The knob will move too far to the right, past 5 th and then I have to hunt for the gear. As well I have noticed that shifting inot reverse does not requiree pulling up on the lever under the shift knob as it should. I would love to fix this myself so any instructions would be great. How much did your dealer charge? thanks in advance.
