I am sorry I meant to say that I replaced the bushing
I did plug the harness back into the transmission
I may have done it wrong , not sure about the shift lever either
To the rod on the valve body , is that the small metal thing that
Sticks out a bit on the bottom of the valve body ?
There was a black peice of metal looked like a lever of some sort
Is that what you are talking about ?
Thanks a lot man my instructors in my mechanic school have no clue
About this car !
