So the shifter could have a worn bushing where it connects on either side and can cause this problem, Hang on a few mins. and I'll look for a pic. of the repair.

OK, I'll waitNo thanks, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* have a pic of the repair?
Automotive Expert
sorry the down load takes awhile so here is a pic.

SO looking at this there are a lot of bushings to check and see if they are getting in a bind or not and these are something that need to be lubed as well with a sray white grease.

Thanks, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* the worn bushing located, does it have a reference number on the diagram?OK, how do I access the lube pointsI have a car lift in my shop, can I access the linkage from the underside of the vehicle?
Automotive Expert
at the point 20 and 21 you can sray at those point from under the car and inspect the other bushings and linkages from there, as to the part # they don't show it in my All Data site.

OK, will do. Another problem on the Montero, is it difficult to change the gas filler hose?
Automotive Expert
I would say it is a little difficult as the hose will be stiff and stuck on the tank will be a little hard, So here is a pic. of it and there is a plate to remove to give you an access.
