Cool, thanks for all the info. Feel much better about the odd shaft sticking out the side of the tranny. Can't help but wonder why the Mitsu engineers went to all the trouble designing that goofy cross shaft shifter linkage when they had the selector shaft available on that side also ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I guess they didn't subscribe to the K.I.S.S. principle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
I found the "torque strut" on misubishiparts.net P/N MB260676 for $20, may try to get a new one just cause the old ones are so rusty. Anyone try to get one lately? Although, I also found out that I will have to relocate the bracket 2 inches as I'm replacing a manual trans with this auto so it may be one of those things that get lost in the shuffle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
Thanks again
