we replaced the drive shaft when i 1st picked up the car so the ones in the back are recently tightened. But V2Rocket and Arominus bring up a good point. If the hollow bore on the linkage is worn out too, it will just wear out a fresh pin on a new shift lever. I may just take it apart this weekend and inspect the linkage hollow bore before i order parts. If that is worn out, instead of getting new i may try the 3/8 trick. Thanks for the input everyone.

The shift lever has the gear shift **** on it; the shift tube is in the tunnel and runs back to the TA and it does not have to come out. With the shift lever and base cup removed, the shift tube can be raised and pulled forward enough to drill it from the sides while in the car.
