thats what I thought, GTG there... I need a grill spring and a jounce bumper though if anyone has either of those laying around I'll pay a fair price for them not to pay $15 for 2 + shipping from kirbans.

I've got some grill springs.  You want both or just one?

almost done wiring, this takes a lot more patience than I typically can handle.


Anyhow, while cleaning up in the console and shifter. I came across this broken spring and weird c-clip.


Maybe these are clues to making my shifter button work again. but I dont see how exactly. I can see how the button is connected to the J-hook thing that controls detent and lockout in the shifter. Is it as simple as putting a spring on the bottom of the J-hook and through a hole above it? Then what is the c-clip thingy?

Dan and I had to replace the complete shifter assembly in mine back in the spring. There's one or more springs at the bottom. I wish I had of taken pics to show their location. The long white plastic rod is adjustable so the shifter button works correctly.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

I'm still not sure where that c-clip in the photo came from... or the little spring.

I believe the c clip goes around the round bar that gives the detent feel on the gear placement and the spring attaches to the rod inside the shifter and the c clip.  I had mine apart a few years ago and could be wrong.  I do know that I went with the aluminum shifter guts after that.
