put together the valve body.

had some woes in the process though.... i broke the little peg that attaches it to the gear selector rod. the little peg has a slit in it that you spread apart to hold it in place...well the metal on one side broke off. does anyone have one of those laying around? i know it is small, and i think i can just get a small beg with a circlip to hold it from like Lowes or something.

then on the the gear selector itself.....on the trans case, not the valve body....that little piece that sets the detent....well that aluminum POS gave out and stripped, so i am going to try to hellicoil it first and then if not try the old piece on the old trans, which isn't much better. BOOOOOOO crappy aluminum!!!

see pics with arrows for where i am talking about.
