Thanks Bill!
I think I will just send off for the little kit and put it back the way it left the Factory.
I have enjoyed the really 'short' Shift Lever though...been fun thinking about changing it to a five or six inch Shift Arm instead of the usual full length.
But, for now, I have anough other things to do, so...I will just get the parts and put it back right and go from there.
Thanks everyone for the input!
I did not know these little parts were so easy to get.
