Definately aftermarket and worn out, I fought my tranfer shifter for years with same issues. Get a good quality replacement, this is one area where price equals quality, no need to go cheap and replicate the problem. If you can find one get a Woody's, I did a quick search and could not come up with a link, I hope they did not go out of business. In the day they were the NASCAR and other racer goto guys for shifters, "Everyone needs a Woody" was the logo. Hurst used to be very good if you stayed away from the bargain series, but someone else will need to chime in on current situation, probably made off shore so who knows.
