@wrkinprogress , the shiny metal underneath the carpet flap is a removable sheet metal cover that allows access to bits underneath. The bits underneath are the connection between the shifting shaft (that runs back through the tunnel from the shifter) and the transaxle.
That shaft runs through a replaceable nylon bushing that wears out over time. To replace the bushing, you need to unhook the shaft under the access panel and slide it forward, out of the bushing.
If you look up 'PITA' in the dictionary, you will see a little picture of the bushing there.

PITA, indeed! angry That's why I decided it was recently well worth paying my favorite mechanic the one hour's labor he needed to fix my Qwik-Shifter. Inasmuch as that bushing "died" after over 10 years of "not-so-soft" use, I figure I'm ahead of the game...this time, that is! thumb
