is it at the top of the gear stick cos the gold thing sounds like part of the linkage. all you are looking for is a round metal thing round the gear stick that has been crimped with a pair of crimping pliars. its to dark for a photo now but i suguest you buy a haynes manuel if you already have look diagram 27.3a theres a pic of the gear lever with no gator on then theres the spring bit and above that thers the knob retaining clip.OMEGASUPR3ME wrote:ye i looked under the gaiter thing, and there is a gold thing there is htat the thing i cut???. and the lexus lights im gunna tint so then they will look better

First and maybe the cheapest option would be to get the tracking checked first.OMEGASUPR3ME wrote:when i am doin 60 or over the steering wheel vibrates quite badly

welcome matey,
gear knob is a b!tch.... I wanted to get that changed but decided against it... but will aventually be done...
Not many people here are fans of the laxus lights but as you said tinting them would make them a little better.
The vibrating on the steering wheel is an forearm muscle builder so noting to worry about
