Tommy,
The easiest fix with the column in the car is to take a small hammer and tap the backside of the serated piece toward you, thus raising it and placing more tension on the lever. If you remove the lever you can build it up with weld and file it back down leaving a pointed shape raised to fit the serations. Jim McPherson
