I've done some more research. Even if I purchased pushrods, new transmission and motor with cables, it still doesn't address this problem that I can see:
Here is my PASSENGER side top rail frame thingy. As you can see, it's got a peg through the rail.
Here is my DRIVER side top rail frame thingy. As you can see, bent and not in place.
Any ideas??
Can someone show me a diagram how these work? All I ever see are the motor to transmissions to push rods, nothing above.
