the ring should fall down into some piece where it will lock in to keep the ball from moving up, in my buddy's 300Z the "ring" was plastic and we had to squeeze it into a divot that was hard to get it down into, but thats what held the ball in place
the ball would be below the ring, to hold it down, so you cant pull the shifter up, i think the ring is meant to hold is solidly in place, but seeing your pictures kind of, it seems like i may be off even though thats what it should be for, because i do not see a spot where the ring would squeeze into to hold itself
Well thanks for all your help. Only if Toyota would sell the pieces separately, I would be a lot happier lol. Now I have to throw some plastic on the lathe and make it work!
