The drill bit isn't to tighten it with, you insert it into the set-up hole in the selector cover.:wall:

Its either alignment of the selector mechanism/linkage or the linkage & lever bushes have had it.

Last time I examined the HAYNES I realised how many bushes there are & how easy it could be to revive the shift.

I drove a 21k Nova the other day & the gear change was almost orgasmic. (slik)

Check the HAYNES diagram & then cross reference what you think might be worn, get a price from your GM dealer. I would imagine the bits are available. not common bits exactly.
