loose ws6 turnsignal lever

just got a 2000 ws6 and i noticed the lever for the turnsignals is pretty loose. it has too much movement and feels like im gonna break it eventually. it doesnt have a crisp feeling to it when using it. anybody have to mess with this before?

Dont forget to check your muffler bearings too.......those need frequent lubrication.

i dont think its supposed to be this loose. it also looks like theres a rubber boot or something missing around the signal lever where it goes into the steering column. i could be wrong on that though. maybe its supposed to have a large gap around it. i certainly hope its fixable cause i cant stand using my signals when it feels like the lever is going to snap. anybody ever have to replace this part? and is there a boot or something around the lever where it goes into column?

Mine feels kind of loose too, and yes the gap around the lever is normal. It looks like something is missing or broke, but mine was like that when i got it so i assume its "normal".
Also, my old 89 Camaro RS had the same multi-function stalk and it felt loose as well, but it never broke. I think its just one of those parts that feels cheap, but holds up just fine.
