Just rebuilt the AW3 in the LS and as I was finishing up inside I noticed that 2 of the 3 studs for the shifter had disappeared! As many of you know, those aren't studs...

So, out she comes again and I pull the transfer shifter top plate off, there's 1 bolt, but of course under the other is a big hole looking down into the gears. Not such a good thing.

Long story short, I wound up having to take the rear cover off too, as the bolt found its way back and down to just inside the drain plug (wish I'd looked there first!).

Here's the problem: as I pulled the rear cover off of the Hi-Lo shaft, a little dowel fell on the floor. It's the interlock plunger, and the FSM says remove it when taking apart and install it when assembling. That's nice.

Where?!? I can't figure out where it goes. Any help?
