It’s a metal hose, like a super thin brake line. It’s some kind of plunger but the line is cut about 8” from the button. |

Interesting...looks like your shift rod coupler has been repaired with some Philips screws and locknuts. _________________ "Criticism comes easier than Craftsmanship"

So would you say the closer acc to the steering wheel would be for the fuel gauge? Any ideas as to what the second hole is on my dash ? Could it be another acc? This car has a few accessories that came with it.
