The lever gets stuck and then goes back to being fine. I had it in for an oil service and the tech told me it's a small white urethane grommet that is broken and there is no replacement. I had to buy the whole gear leaver box kit. 980.00 total with Labor because it take a lot to get this all off and the new one back on.

I had an issue with mine getting stuck going from auto to manual shift mode and back. I ended up putting some grease on the white poly grommet and it seemed to take care of it for the most part.

Thanks but my white grommet is actually broken out. I appreciate the replies though.
