As far as I know my shift lever is one piece...i never acquired the tool to separate it from what I refer to as the shifter tower...i have 4 bolts that go to it and then one cover and one boot...

That's what I'm trying to talk about haha. Just giving you a heads up, related to my experience. Might wanna bring a few tools along just in case.

yeah... no tools needed, this is all that is left of the trans....
I'm going to try and "reassemble" it tomorrow, e.g. get it in the damn housing so I can send it back as a core... they were giving me some grief over the phone about it... they don't seem to understand that they are going to have to take it apart anyways... I think they are just fearful that I won't give them all the parts...

Yea I was gettin' ready to tell you that you would have to put it together for them to take it as a core... and considering it's a $500 core charge with them you don't wanna skip it haha...
Is ANYTHING salvageable in that thing?? Main or countershaft at least? Those are the most expensive...

Hey safrantz, make sure you pull the shifter stub thingy out of the trans before you go to pick up your new one/drop off your core. I didn't do this, and thankfully was able to scrounge up a couple combo wrenches to muscle it out of there.
This might be common sense... I've never messed with transmisions before this truck, or ordered one, and I didn't know it wouldn't be there...

Good luck on the saga safrantz!
