ANYTHING CAN BE FIXED!

IT'S A JEEP. BY GOSH!

WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE?

CAN YOU SEND PICS?

DID HE EXPERIENCE THE WRATH OF HULA GIRL?

ANY WAY RESPONSIBILITY CAN FALL BACK UPON THEM?

IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT OF THEM TO BE RESPONSIBLE?

LETS HAVE SOME MORE SPECIFICS ON WHAT MODEL YOUR RIG IS

ENGINE SIZE

TRANSMISSION MODEL

ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT AID ME

YOUR TURN

ANOTHER EXPERT AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING THE "AUTO CENSOR FEATURE" AT THIS SITE

SO TO GET AROUND IT, WE MUST TAKE MEASURES TO OUT-WIT IT

I UNDERSTAND THE "K. NOB" GOT BROKE OFF OF YOUR RIG

WHEN YOU SEND "GOOD" PICS, BOTH PIECES, IN FOCUS

LETS DEFINITELY HEAR WHAT, IF ANY, ACTIONS YOU ARE WANTING TO TAKE AND WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR SURE, MORE VEHICLE INFO

ALL RIGHTY THEN HULA GIRL!

YOU DONE GOOD!

COUPLE-A-MORE QUESTIONS

YOU ARE NOT GONNA SLUFF THIS BACK ONTO THE EVIL DOER?

IF YOU SORTA STICK IT BACK ON---DOES IT UNLOCK THE SHIFTER AND MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO GEARS?

IS EVERYTHING INVOLVED IS IN THE PICS (NOTHIN' ELSE BROKE OFF AND MISSIN')?

I HAVE SORTA GOTTEN STARTED ON A SOLUTION

A FEW PICS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. STILL IN THE MAKIN'

ALSO IS THERE A MODEL R/C AIRPLANE / R/C RACE CAR HOBBY SHOP NEARBY?

YOUR TURN

The evil goer may still be laying in the bushes, as I danced on his face!
If I rest the shifter knob back on the stick, the button that allows the stick to move does not work. Yes on the hobby shop.
Thanks,

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOUR PARTS

I HAVE BEEN HOPING THAT IT WOULD ACTUATE AND MOVE THE LINKAGE

LOOK AT THE TIP OF THE WHITE PLASTIC (STILL ON YOUR JEEP) IS THE TIP SHEARED OFF?

WILL THE K. NOB GO ON AND SEAT ALL OF THE WAY DOWN?

IF YOU PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE K. NOB THEN SET IT ON THE STICK WILL IT GO AND THEN WORK, PROVIDED THAT YOU HOLD THE K. NOB IN PLACE?

HAVE TO TRICK/ FOOL THE AUTOMATIC CENSOR ON HERE, SO FAR I HAVE FOUND THAT K. NOB AND M. OTHER SHOW UP LIKE **** AND ******

JUST PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE K. NOB AND LOOKING IN THE HOLE---IS IT LIKE A WEDGE THAT FORCES DOWNWARD ON THE WHITE THINGEE? OR DOES IT LOOK LIKE IT "LIFTS" THE WHITE THINGEE?

ARE YOU ABLE TO SHIFT WITH YOUR THUMB DEPRESSING THE WHITE THINGEE?

THE REASON FOR THE AIRPLANE PLACE (I DO R/C PLANES TOO)---YOU CAN GET "CA" (BASICALLY SUPER GLUE) IN DIFFERENT VISCOSITY (THICKNESS-ES). IF WE GET TO A POINT OF MAYBE GLUING IT BACK ON--I WILL LET YOU GET SOME THICKER STUFF.

BAD THING ABOUT THICKER---DRIES SLOWER--SO DUCT TAPING, WEIGHT OR OTHER, JUST TO HOLD IT TILL IT DRIES, MAY BE AN OPTION

WE CANNOT RISK THE THIN STUFF FLOWING IN AND LOCKING DOWN THE WHITE THINGEEI WILL TALK YOU THRU IT BETTER---IF WE CAN GET IT TO WORK 1ST

I'LL KEEP LOOKIN', YOU GIVE SOME GOOD ANSWERS!

PICS WERE GOOD--I HAVE ALREADY MODIFIED, AND MADE 2 AS TO SHOW HOW TO STAY LINED UP AND WHERE "ONLY" TO APPLY THE THICKER "CA"

SO HE EXPERIENCED "THE WRATH OF HULA GIRL"?

I LIKE THE MOST-US, TRYING TO AID A "TRUE REAL JEEP LOVER", AS I AM TOO!

PLEASE REPLY TELLING ME, IF YOU HOLD IT IN PLACE, IT WILL WORK!

HULA GIRL

LOOK INSIDE THE WHITE PLASTIC OF THE K. NOB, SEE IF THERE IS A CIRCULAR METAL CLIP IN IT----IF NOT LOOK AROUND IN YOUR FLOORS, BETWEEN THE SEATS, ETC---MAY LOOK SIMILAR TO A SMALL KEY RING
