    Hi all,just recently purchased a Volvo 740 Estate,just recently
    noticed that the gear shift lever appears to lift up and down and
    seems to be very loose,when in the down position I have difficulty
    changing gear,but when I gently lift up gear stick,I have no problem
    selecting gears,does anyone know if there is a simple solution to
    remedy this,would appreciate any advise offered,cheers

    Look under the car when someone shakes the lever. Then you will find out
    what the problem is, and maybe also a solution.

    There's some plastic bushings that support the ball joint on the shift
    lever, they're held in with a C-clip, sometimes that clip pops out, other
    times the bushings break and fall out, either way it's not too hard to fix.
