Welcome from Tucson, Az. Car looks great!!!

 I may try a pair of needle nose vice grips and then try turning the outer end with vice grips.

I have a set of open wrenches for a ratchet, but the don't fit in to the space.  The nut is 3/4 or larger.

I now understand why people don't replace the parts, but only attach an after-market fix.  This is a PITA.  Especially with the trans still in place. What is the best way to remove the nut holding lever on? https://preview.ibb.co/d5MwH9/IMG_20180908_142326086.jpg[/img] I'm seriously...

I'm going to tackle this tomorrow.  Will I have to remove filter and valve body off?

Don Thanks...I need to order the seal. I didn't see them when I ordered the other parts, know how carries them? Anything special about knowing what gear it's in when I  install it?   Tim

I received my parts to replace the ratchet shift in my C6 with the proper parts. Any tips for  removing and installing the new parts?  Any pit falls?

Thanks guys!!!! I've order both parts. Although I did see that Summit sells the ratcheting shifter kit. I'm looking a pic of the entire set up. I have this link https://www.7173mustangs.com/showthread.php?tid=30488&pid=308228 but I don't see the entire set up.

Thank you.  Just ordered it. They don't seem to have the kickdown lever.

Hopefully someone will take a look at this and give me an assessment. the first if a video that show the movement of the shift lever ( on the transmission). The make-shift clamp is sliding and not shifting the transmission. You can see at the left of the video the broken - maybe a weld...

So I replaces the bushing an the slop is gone. However still will not shift. So I took the camera and laid it under the car to see the action. Here's the video: Tim

 That bolt comes off and insert the bushing.... I'll need a new neutral safety switch....the end had deteriorated - due to the heat here in S. AZ. Thanks for the link.

LOL...good one. My wife is from Iowa....Monticello ( think that's the spelling).  will be there in Oct.

Well I'm stuck.  I'm hoping someone can take a look at his video clip of my shifter. There is a lot of play in it as you can see. If  you crank of the volume you can here it click as it shift...sometimes - really quick - with very little movement then it won't shift at all. I've tightened...

Looks like you've got a great car to start with....Good luck and welcome from Tucson, Az

Well it's hot!!!!!  I took a few minute and crawled under the car today and checked the linkage connection.  Started the car and it was in reverse (yes it started) .  Luckily I had it chocked up so I DIDN'T go careen down the driveway in to my neighbor's front yard!!!   She hates that!!!  (It...
