And this is a shift lever 1/2" thick with a 16" long "throw" from center of pivot to center of ball on top. The ball bushing has been press fitted into the hole in the shift lever. Now if we run a pivot pin thru the hole in the yellow ball, the shift lever can swing frontward and rearward like you would expect, but also side to side, as the yellow ball rotates inside the purple outer housing. This side to side movement is somewhat limited, because the yellow ball can only rotate untill the pivot bolt contacts the side of the purple outer housing.---Are you with me so far???
