AHHHHHHHHH auto training shifter/linking stuff

["stitsien" <stitsien@xxxx>]

Bah, owned the car less than a week and it looks like I must order a 
new shifter casing, a few parts of the shift linkage and the shifter 
cover display as well. I opened the shifter casing and it was super 
glued together!!!!! I get it off and the screws out and I take the 
two back screws out and the light for the cover display plastic grip 
teeth were glued as well and shifter gate does not have its screw to 
hold it in place, but for a reason. I put it back in place and 
started to shift and heard a snap those little plastic teeth that 
hold it in gear. Well now I can't keep it in first and can only shift 
from 2nd upto park???. Looks like I am calling Huston on Tuesday to 
get these parts.
This is not a rant BTW its just kinda shock on my part. I mean here I 
am buying one of these cars that I have receipts showing work on the 
drive train, suspension and a few other things and I find this kind 
of stuff. Is this normal? I mean I looked for a car for over two 
years and this one is by far the best one I have found don't get me 
wrong. I just would like a few other peoples experiences maybe to 
tell me where I stand as an owner. I mean I love the car I really do; 
I enjoy this kinda stuff for the most part. I am just shocked that's 
all.
