Nobody told me that it was going to be such a PITA fighting with the gas tank skid to get the crossmember to drop enough to get the donut out.
The Dorman shifter is kind of a piece of ****. It is mostly precision cast out of warmed drillpress shavings and cleaned up by a busload of deaf/blind/mute/quadriplegic cheap labor using die grinders. It's not milled flat, so it comes with a gasket. #winning.
Since I had to tear apart more than I planned, I'm waiting on an order from RockAuto that arrives tomorrow before putting it back together. Haven't driven it since I drove it off the trailer a few weeks ago.
If it weren't for the fact that I know the B&M is a true short throw, I would have rather bought it for 50% more.
