must be my linkage?
i had the common door handle problem a few weeks ago but was able to fix it, now i'm having the same problem, only that it doesn't appear to be the handle but the linkage. I push down on the linkage with the handle taken off and i can open the door, but when i clip it in it seems like it's not pushing it down far enough, but the system on the handle does move like it's supposed to, i have no clue what to do and climbing in from the other side is really annoying. The pics i attached show how much play there is in the linkage and how far the handle mechanism actually moves.

Now, if you replace the door handles, do you have to get new keys made for the locks? I don't know how that would work because I've never seen or done that. Or can the locks remain the same? I guess I'll find out when I dive into that fixin'.

You can use the same lock cylinders, once you get into it you will see the metal spring clip that holds it in.
