Can someone with a parts CD find the part number for the large aluminum rectangle washer that is used to connect the shifter linkage to the transmission selector rod? I lost mine during my V&S ss install.

oh yeah

thats a pretty big washer to lose. lol....where did you drop it.

I think I dropped into into the drive train tunnel. It did not fall onto the ground. I removed the entire center console so its not under there. I guess it sitting somewhere on top of the transmission.

in the shifter housing, in the boot that leads from the housing to the transmission, or the ground...

I dropped my torx bit into there the other day... lol.

Items can also get into the center console, which I have checked. It slipped out of my hand near the rear of the shifter housing, so that kind of eminated the boot. On the way to the ground I think it has been blocked by a heat shield.

I'm going to need to pull that piece to find it, correct?

superv

thats what it sound like to me. There is a good write up in the tech article about how to remove the center console.

Yup, I'm familiar with most of the writeups. Just not wanting to pull everything out.
