I pulled the nss to change with the new one I got on ebay. It turned out the switch I got was wrong even though the part# states it was for a 4 speed automatic part# NS200 from Standard Ignition. It is not right. The shift shaft is much bigger than the NS200's plastic bushing so I had to return it. While I had the old one off I cleaned it really good as well as the shift shaft. It some light surface rust as it seems they all develop over time. I got shifter shaft all shiny again and dabbed some dielectric grease on it and the old NSS plastic bushing to see if it would smooth up the shifting. It didn't seem to change anything. My cable is properly adjusted. It appeared when I had the NSS off and was making sure the manual shift lever was in neutral it maybe the problem. It felt as if it was the culprit, slipping through the detents if you didn't go slow enough. It felt like how the gearshift lever acted sometimes smooth and sometimes taking some effort although it's never got stuck either the manual lever or the gearshift lever. How is that fixed? Another transmission?
