I'm talking about the one on the bottom of the shifter that takes up the loose space on the shift slider plate. The old slapsitck fit this hole and moved the shift indicator properly. If the shifter bottom was made about and inch longer, it would have fit in the hole and taken care of the problem. I considered buying a new plate for the 70 shifter just to cut it out to fit better. I noticed a rubber around the bottom of your new shifter that would eliminate it.
