[QUOTE="SpookSVT, post: 4155984, member: 34120"] Shifter was stocky again today so I pulled the boot again. I saw this time that there is a pastic bushing that the shifter ball moves in so that ruled out the metal shavings coming form there. The metal shavings were coming from the aluminum chunk on the shifter that hits the stop for reverse which is steel. From not pulling up on the latch for reverse and knowing that aluminum is softer than steel, it just shaved off the aluminum block on the shifter and the shavings went into the shifter ball & socket. I know I said the sticking was only on WOT runs but it started doing it during regular driving as well. So if you have a B&M and it's sticky and you have the habit of not using the reverse latch that is most likely your problem. [/QUOTE]
