1st > In my opinion the shift gate is every part of the car and it's "Italianesqueness" as the detomaso name. I happen to love it and so does car show attendees. I hear alot of positive comments about the gate and its look.
Does: I would check the 3 spline locations for tightness 1st then adjust the turnbuckle. From my understanding this is where the easy adjustment lies and it worked great for my Pantera.
After scribing lines on masking tape as described then loosen # 1 - # 3. Looking into the engine bay then adjust the turn buckle only a little clock or counter clockwise as described; tighten # 1 - # 3 as see if it worked. Repeat as necessary. Best to have a person in the car to hold the shifter in place while you tighten the nuts.
My car is a Pre L in case that matters...
