Fill in the gaps in the Gen 3 style front transmission mount with windsheild urethane. Let it set overnight untill the urethane "skins over" (so it won't stink up the house as bad) and then you can cure it in the oven at about 200

I recently came across a problem with my '89 gold Topaz 5 Spd. The shifter linkage almost fell right out of the car!?! Because of the way it works I lost 5 th and reverse gears. When I got the car up on my hoist and tried to correct the problem I found that the stock design doesn't quite work very well. After about an hour of cussing and trying to weld it in place I came up with an all new idea. I took some spare steel lying around cut it to 2 and half foot lengths, placed a 1 inche x 1 inche spacer in the middle and welded it right to the frame of the car. This no only fixed my problem with the droopy shifter, but it also (cause of the sturdiness of the design) fixed the sloopy tranny feel. Now the shifter does not move around, or vibrate the way it used to and all the gears feel like they are where they are supossed to be.
