Noisy 4WD button on 85 Wagon

Featured Replies

Hi All!

 

Just a quick question. I have an 85 Wagon that has a 2" lift kit, but otherwise unmodified. Ever since I bought it, when I hit 5th gear the 4WD button rattles. The stick itself doesn't rattle, as I can put my hand on the shifter and it still rattles. As soon as I put my nail on one side of the button, the rattle stops.

 

Any ideas how to stop it? I drive 40Km each way to work every day in 5th, and the noise is driving me nuts!

Rod!

We have a 93 Loyale at work with the same problem. No fix I can think of other than wedging something in beside the button so it won't rattle.

I think there's a very small phillips or hex screw in the front of the knob; you might investigate tightening that.

You could carefully spill some pepsi onto your shifter, I bet that would work :brow:
