Re: Milano Verde shifter needs rebuild, short shift kit??

[David Morales <davidm@domain.elided>]

You can also try Paul Spruell, in Atlanta. They got all the shifter
parts for my Milano, including a broken lever on the transaxle side. A
few of the parts were special order, though, and took a few weeks to
arrive. 

BTW, I'd suggest you change all the bushings, both on the transaxle side
and the shifter side, and the ball-jointed link on the transaxle side. 

Best luck,

'87 Milano Gold with new everything under the car, but refusing to
start.
