Do any of you know where I can pick up one of those locking washers that hold the shifter in place? I contacted the dealer and have looked online but no one sells them separately. Thanks.

 

i have no idea, a new washer came with my short shifter i know that the old one wuz such a pain to take off!!!!

 

been needing one for a while also ... I'm up for suggestions

 

They are called push nuts, I was thinking they were lock washers. Anyway you should be able to find them at any parts store. I got a box of assorted ones from Oreilly auto parts. I had to install it using a C-clamp and a 12mm socket because they are a @%#$! to get on any other way.

 

happen to recall what size you ended up using? I can't find anyone that carries assorted boxes.

 

Sorry, I don't remember seeing the sizes listed on the box. You can check the sizes here http://mdmetric.com/prod/ochiai/html_spn.htm but that might not be much help unless you know the radius of the pin.

I would just buy a few different sized ones if the parts store has them. They are pretty inexpensive.
