I actually see that they sell the shift shaft at Summit so that's convenient. From what I can tell Erik you are correct. Looks like I'll need to pull the valve body to replace it. Thanks for the info.
I should have mentioned I already had the engine out. I did manage to pull the transmission and transfer case as one unit using my floor jack and a piece of 2x4.
@ Komet, That is good to know. Had me worried.
I probably won't get to it for a little bit but do you know where I could get a replacement? Do you think that is something I can find on summit or jeggs and do you know what I would call it to search for it?
Hey Komet. Turns out I couldnt feel the nuts on the topside of the skid plate because of the 3 inches of crud and grime under there , haha.
On a differnt topic has anyone ever broke this stud off when trying to unbolt the neutral safety switch (i think that is what it's called) from the...
I was watching a video of some removing both and he did them separately, so I was just curious. Anyone know about the skid plate under there, does it have bolts with nuts on top?
I am finally getting back around to reassembling my 98 engine.
This is my first enging build and it has been a while since I have worked on it.
Can anyone tell me what all mounts on the block itself. I dont want to forget anything.Is there only one knock sensor , and motor mounts?
Thanks for the info everyone. I appreciate it.
I was also curious about the reluctor ring. Seems like it just sort of sits on the woodruff key. What keeps it from wiggling forward? Just the cover?
I did label and put most everything in a baggie. I can't seem to find the bolt for the balancer at the moment so was just worried I may have misplaced other ones. Just want to see f there was a way to look them up just in case I run into trouble
