Okay thanks. I do remember your thread discussing the weak bracket but didn't catch why the factory shifter wouldn't work. I understand now. I did read somewhere in these threads that AA redesigned the shifter bracket and is rigid now. I may go that route just because I would really like the keep the factory shifter if possible. If its to flimsy I can always figure something else out or twin stick it.

Have you ever had any experience with the 5thGearrepair.com locknut retainer? I wondered if I could use this? I'm not sure I can if I use the AA spacer between the nv4500 & np205.
