While we are coming up with handy tricks on Top Loader assy, two piece's of alloy round bar with a hole drilled at right angle thru them that the shifter rail detents/interlocks will slide thru also make this part of re-assembly a breeze. Simply fit in the appropriate position in the shifter rail passages of the trans case and fit the detent/remove -fit shifter rail-fit next detent etc etc.
Glad we were able to be of help & Anthony I guess you get the Chocolate Fish!
