Great advice and much apprecaited, although I have to look up what "munge" is. smile If the housing is like everythig else on my truck that amount of grease came from the factory in 54.

Nothing like a problem to help you learn more about your truck. I'll know what to do next time, but glad I took the housing apart to understand how the shifter works.

I'll keep an eye on the rod and ensure I did not move it off the notch.

Thanks again!
