Dude, do yourself one favor and stop running that thing or messing with it until you put it back together correctly. You're going to bend any number of expensive parts. Trust me!!!

You can get the part you want from the dealer, or you can get a metal version from Paragon. www.********************************************************************.com. I bought the metal ones hoping they would never break again. There is another argument though, that they were made out of plastic on purpose so that they would fail first and keep other expensive stuff from failing instead. Your call.

Now that you've had problems, it's not just as simple as replacing the push rod end and everything is O.K. By running the top while one end has been disconnected, the two transmissions are now out of time and must be retimed (is that a word?).

I wrote about how to do it once after mine got really screwed up. Let me find the thread and I'll get right back to you.
