 You are quite welcome for the trouble, nice of you to say. I quit YT and pretty much "these" Toyota sites due to lack of appreciation when you help someone. Let me know how you like the shifter, not a priority with me but I am curious about it. I sent emails to Marlin and other companies before never getting a response. Whats the point of a service if they don't respond. AND while I'm on it, last summer one of my clients bought a lot of stuff from Marlin. We also ordered ALCAN springs which took 6 weeks. When they came I bolted on Marlins U bolt flip kick. I got one on and started on another. I looked across to noticed the plate bent and so did the U bolts. On calling Marlin they said it was too late to make a claim as it was past 30 days since purchase. I torqued. them to 90 lbs which is right on according to the Alcan chart for a 9/16 bolt.  I used a Snap/on torque wrench and even checked it. Their plates are only 1/4 inch thick. The reason I didn't do TG as their stuff is mostly CHINA. Marlin wouldn't make it good so they lost a lot more of biz. with me and my client. We went with FROR which are 1/2 thick , mine are from AOR (defunked) and they are 3/8 thick. I also didn't like the way do the pass side bolt holes on their plates. I will buy my crawler from them but nothing else ever. If they want to delete this or kick me off I don't care. Luck with your project
