Check out the price list I posted with part number to the shifter bushings and parts I just sold. Well over 200.00 worth,it was a steal at 100.00 shipped. You could easily spend over 300.00 replacing everything. Plus I think a few of the items I had for sale were NLA. Thankfully I bought two of everything and plan on replacing every part of my shifter when I put the new motor in. I am going to install new radiator,heater cores,hoses,starter,motor,tranny was rebuilt already,new cv's,new bearing,already replaced the entire front end including bushing, and finally all brake componets. The master and slave cylinders were already replaced too. I am shooting for a new like van. Oh, I just put on new Rims and tires this spring. Upgrading to the 15's is one of the best things you can do for handling with these vans. Bill
