Thanks for the info. I did 3rd gear burnouts with the nash for 3 years and now with the jerico for the last few months. I felt 2nd didn't get tires hot enough and figured 4th would be impossible with my low torque motor and without a clutchless I can't shift during burnouts. My problem was during a run it snapped that shift finger that the lever attaches to. It broke on the outer side of case on the 4th gear shift and then the rod was dragging on the ground til I got the car stopped and pulled over. We pulled tranny apart at the track but unfortunately we could not find that spare part. Thought about using the one for reverse but was told they aren't the same and could not verify that without taking more apart.

James I will definitely make sure everything you mentioned is ok, thanks for your help.
