Dick,
The two-piece shift lever is held together with epoxy glue as applied at the factory - I'm guessing for ease of assembly while maintaining alignment between the tabs on the lever and carrier plate. Yes. Tack-weld so they don't part company as you've done.

Sherwood,

I thought they were brazed.....well Dave told me that. Epoxy!!! yikes!! on installation, I spent a couple days fiddling with the FSS and got it right.........couple days later the epoxy let go!!!

I was so pissed, I pulled the shifter out and tack welded it in the welding bench vise without taking it apart!!! I did not have the heart for a 4 disassembly of the shifter.
