Grasshopper, you have a classic Samurai problem called the disintegrated shifter sheet!

The cure is to replace the shifter sheet which - fortunately - costs from 10 to 20 bucks!

Do a search for shifter sheet at Ack's FAQ (the link is in my signature, below) to find out how to fix it and where you can get a replacement shifter sheet.

I don't know of a single Samurai owner (myself included) who hasn't replaced their shifter sheet at least once...

FYI, I would go with the Zuks Offroad (ZOR)  brass shifter sheet.  It lasts forever!

I hope that this helps!

I totally agree with ACK on this. I also have had to replace mine too it is a fairly easy part to replace just be careful that if yours is in pieces inside the case that you get out all the little parts of it out.
