Thanks guys i did read about the Synchromesh fluid And i will go with that. I am like a Ronco guy set it and forget it. It take me a while after coutless hours of research then once i am done i want to note what i am using and make it the standard until something happens.

Side note just made it back from the junk yard. In the evening i cut the shaft to modify it so i can use the original shifter and after drilling the new hole 1.25 inch above the original hole on the shifter for the pin and spacer. I did not drill it center on the shaft. To pull a new shifter $18.00 i guess thats the fun doing things you never done.

Thanks lugnutz i really appreciate the research and explanation you wrote.

I am trying to keep my boo boos to a min.

Thanks again to all with the input.
