Patrick sent me a PM last night and I got it... but couldn't reply to it. I'm not sure what is going one there. Anyway, I have the address written down now, so if you want to edit it out of your post so fewer millions on the WWW can mail you things, go for it.

Also, I found the parts this morning before heading off to work, and it all came rushing back to me that it had apparently been replaced, I guess, just before I bought the car. So it has maybe about 5 years of non daily-driver use on it. It's not even painted yet. You see a little elongation of the holes, but nothing bad at all. I don't know why they made it out of zinc, since that's much softer than aluminum, but you can tell that holes elongate due to just being pushed against -- not due to wear.

I'll go down and bead blast it so it'll be all ready to paint when you get it. I'm going to send you down the shift lever, insulator, and pin as well, since I'll never need them. Should be there in a couple days.

Roger,
Thanks again, you are a life saver.. even if you do kill threads..

Hopefully this will get my car shifting again..
The inside of the transmission looks good though..

Maybe I only kill threads when my posts are just so good it leaves everyone speechless... yeah, that's it.

Oh, I do have the shift tube as well I pulled out of my wagon. I'm not sure if that can be bad per se. I think I left the shift levers on the outside under the hood, but I can't really recall. That was all done in another one of my 3-week try to get more done than humanly possible work sessions. I do know that "neutral" must be adjusted right or nothing will shift the way it's supposed to. Any slop anywhere means one of the levers may be still engaged keeping another from moving. But, of course, I'm sure you know that already.
