Analyzing the shift mechanism

Today I removed the home made shifter from the transmission. Not much to taking it off .... 2 bolts holding the parking brake to the bracket, 2 bolts holding the bracket to the transmission. I nut for the top linkage and one cotter pin for the bottom.

Once I got it off I cleaned up the area that broke and cut a new piece of metal for the piece that wore down over time. I'm not sure everything will be going back the way it was but just in case it does I will have it.

Then I got a few pictures and let the truck back down off of the jack stands and did a little bit more paint removal. Not much time for it ... had an early dinner and decided I was done for the day.
