with some interesting maneuvering it was, the question is how simple its going to be to get back in. I considered having it welded but the crack is quite sever and due to the fact that the previous owner did nothing about it the crack has stretched and the pipe is some what miss shapen and wearing away at the bearing, as well the pin that holds the 2 parts of the rod together at the end is warn to nothing almost. A new rod was not that expensive so i just ordered on last night, i could always weld it and sell it on ebay if i find the time or keep it around as a spare. Ill keep this thred updated with my progress now im just waiting for parts.

just got home from school. dident even go in the house, spent an hour replacing the shift linkage and bushings, its working like a charm now. i needs some adjusting, 1st and 2nd are kind of pooping in and out of place. any thoughts?
