Abidjan Cote d' ivoire West Africa.

Greetings in the name of the Almighty, and may his grace continue to assist
you and I, as you open your heart in helping me out of this unbearable situation of my family disaster. Please give me this Godly help for our Almighty will reward you in abundant. It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country, though I have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of Million U.S dollars ($6,500,000.00) which my late
Father kept with a Fiduciary Fund Holder here in Abidjan the Capital of
Cote d’Ivoire before his death.

Now I have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe
enough outside Africa for security and political reasons. I want you to help me claim and retrieve this fund from the Fiduciary Fund Holders and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes. I am Miss Flourance Traore, the Daugther of late Colonel Bakassa Traore who died on after he was badly tortured by the security agents of the present goverment of president Laurent Gbagbo of the Republic of Cote D\\\'Ivoire for honouring the invitation to a dinner by the French Ambassador with his two colleagues, after the dinner they were arrested by the security agent of the present regime and was accussed of being traitors to their motherland knowing the political problems between Cote d\\\'Ivoire and France.

They were tortured and detained for several hours after they were released
immediately he was rushed to the hospital where his private doctor battled
to save his life but he died 4 days later on sunday 3 july 2005 for
verification you can see for your self this website:

My father knowing he won,t survive called all of us by his dying bed and
instructed us to leave the country to Ghana where we are presently as our
country Cote d\\\'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is no longer safe for us, Our Mother
died 3 months later as a result of the heart attack she suffered during the
news of the death of my father and I have to escape from Ghana now to Cote
d’Ivoire in respect of this money and no one knows my whereabout here as I
am in hiding place now at a Church with the help of one Pastor.

If you can be of an assistance to me I will be pleased to offer to you 20%
of the total fund for your assistance to me.

I am wait your soonest response.

Respectfully yours,
Miss Flourance Traore.

Every single one I've ever seen does the same thing. The chrome extension is held onto the actual shifter shaft with a circlip over a rubber bushing. I suppose one could drill through the fat part and fit a pin, but anal types would lose the entertainment of constantly trying to keep the knob oriented properly. ;-)

Hello,

If you mean the chrome upper half of the shifter, it should be able to twist, but it should not be easy.

There are rubber bushings inside the shifter handle and if they are old, the handle can twist more easily.

I should have both the upper and lower shifter handle bushings in stock.

BTW, a 1965 Lincoln Continental is the reason I got involved with my first Volvo. Back in 1977, when the timing chain on my old Lincoln broke, I got involved with my first 122.
