[BaadAssGremlins] eagle shifter problem



Paige's 88 Eagle shifter cratered tonight at Sam's when she was picking up 
some portraits. The shifter goes back and forth on the floor. I crawled 
under the car but with limited light from flashlight could only determine 
some bracket that holds the rod to the trans was broken. Anyone have a 
spare. Also need a driver side headlight door for same car as someone backed 
into her at work and broke that small piece. She has the worse luck.

I pulled this off the Eagle Nest website as I am unfamiliar with Eagles:

It is NOT the item highlighted. It looks like possibly the item between #26 
and #27 in that illustration, again I was just going by flashlight. We ended 
up pulling it home about 3 miles away with old Bessie the 72 Ambassador SST 
wagon...much to Jacob and Noah's delight who rode with mom pulling me.

I might buy a whole shifter if anyone has one. This had some little 
cable.....with small rod....inside it laying there. So for the past month 
you could easily shift it in any gear "on the fly" and the metal brace 
facing upwards had been hallow.

For what it is worth my 82 Eagle wagon has over 100K on it with cratered 
shifter, this seems to be some sort of weak spot on Eagles? I fixed that one 
in early 90s with small coat hanger. I found this thread off the Eagle 
Forum:

which it seems no one knows for sure if these had a cable, rod, or plastic 
in them or whatever happened to be in the parts bin that day.

So if someone can elaborate it would be appreciated and if someone has a 
small bracket, possibly shifter, and headlight door, please let me know 
condition, price, email me at eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and thanks 
for all who might know these boogers better than me, would like to get this 
thing fixed quickly.
