I need the little tapered stud that secures the shifter to the tranny shifter ball socket nipple. The one that has a nut on it that presses the stud in or pulls it, depending on which side of the stud its being used on. Anyone hav one from their old M50D?

Can you find it here? I'm sure it'll help if you can positively ID what you need.

follow the gear shift down from the nob, along the shaft to the collar. The bolt doesnt have a number on it.

From the diagram, it appears to be just a cinch bolt. Can't you use one from a hardware store? AFAIK, it shouldn't be tapered, or anything special at all. Maybe just hardened...

the picture isnt accurate. At least for what I have. Maybe that means the R2 version is different than the R1 for the ranger based vehicles.
