I have this CA shift lever to sell, As noted in pictures it is "bent", I'm asking a silly question [ mind does not remember well anymore] I assume it is suppose to be straight, correct? Thanks for help. PS. OK to heat [lightly] and straighten??

The unpainted end goes inside the trans and is not supposed to be bent like that... ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

| You do not have to use heat ,just stick in hole and bend back . They are tough. I restored and custimzed a B and had to bend that lever almost like one on a D14 and i bent it cold. |
