Just this week I noticed my shifter doesn't always center itself like it used to. If I push it to the left (between 1 and 2), sometimes it just sits there and doesn't return to center. Same thing when pushing it to the right (between 5 and 6). I read some suggestions on the forum and I plan on taking apart the shifter assembly this weekend to do a visual inspection. I plan on looking for rust at the rod linkage and checking for any lubrication issues. Any other advice on what to look for would be appreciated as this issue is affecting my shifts from 2-3 and downshifts from 5-4. I rely on the self-centering of the stick when performing these shifts, I have to pay extra attention now that it doesn't self-center.
