That might work if it was not raised up.Ê I have limited shoulder/arm travel 
especially on the left, so I will take a look next time I am under there.

I talked to Russ, as I needed to know before I made a two hour trip to get parts.Ê 
Turns out most likely to be part of the rear coupler.Ê Trouble is, the stock one is 
N.L.A., so going to take a look, and figure out what I want to do.Ê Not sure what the 
rubber ring in the original did.

I am going to replace the bushing, as we came to the conclusion it be easier to have 
the shifter out when I install the drive line.Ê Plus, I figure while I have it all 
apart, get it done while the doing is easier. ;)
