I put my van in a shop this morning to get a starter installed.  In the
process of driving the van the 8 feet from the parking space to the bay, the
mechanic broke something in my shifter.  He said when he pushed it down to
put it in reverse "it stuck down".  So now, I have to pull the shifter up to
put it in gear, and it is very loose.  Also, it's hard to tell if I have it
in first or reverse...it's got to be a hazard to drive this way.

Anyway, the manager said it was a little plastic part that broke.  He said
that it didn't look like a "fresh" break - nevertheless, he called "all over
the place" looking for this little plastic part but couldn't find it.   He
said, in the cockiest tone he could muster "If you can get the part, I'll put
it in for you...".  I told him (with equal attitude) to give me that in
writing, because "I WILL get the part"....so, I'm really hoping someone out
there knows what I'm talking about and has one of these plastic doo dads
laying around that they'd be willing to sell...!?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
