[DeTomaso] Gearshift linkage disaster

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Hmmm, had mine apart recently, and I don't remember that.  They have a 
"groove" all the way around which the bolt passes by and prevents the 
shaft from coming out, but I don't remember any flat.  Of course, I'm 
often wrong about these things.
