Good catch, Ross.

2T300, I happen to mention this (and the consequences) in my video at around the 16 minute mark. It just so happened that the trans I was disassembling had that exact problem (though mine was misadjusted, not missing).

P.S. Some blue Loctite on that bolt would be a good idea.

Thanks for mentioning that. The old setup did not have that and I hadn't made one. I adjusted the linkage to prevent it from going that far.

I watched your video again to see the stop piece. Looks easy enough to fab one up and install.... Added to list today!

Check out the pawl I removed... Kinda explains some of the sticking in park problem? Not sure what that extra folded piece of metal is in there, but definitely was stopping the roller from rolling...

And yes, I use the high temp thread locker on that bolt for sure!
