Spare parts in the shed.. leaf happens LOL
nah man, that’s the ultra rare evo 3.75 organic valve body LOL

This is the point where you need to be extra careful not to bend the valve. This should fix your issue.
The old calibrated eyeball said it was straight, and it slid in and out of the valve body smooth as silk. I gotta leave for a little bit to pick my kids up from a night at their nanny’s, then I’ll reassemble and post results.
 
Follow up with your results so this thread has a HAPPY ENDING! :thumb:
If it slides in and out smoothly then your good. Be careful when you mate it up to the shift lever, that is when I bent mine.
Sonnex makes a replacement valve but just take your time, go slow and make sure the shift lever moves the valve in and out. Add fluid and SMILE 🤞🤞

Oh I’m definitely following up, I hate threads that people either give up, or get the info they need and never let anyone know if it helped or not! But anyway, I am beyond happy to report that I have the ability to move this junk pile once again. I need to adjust the cable again because park is reverse, reverse is neutral, and neutral is drive, but that’s perfectly fine (I hope it’s just cable adjustment anyway LOL) but at this point as long as it’ll move I’m good with it!! Thank you all so freaking much for the help, this is why DSMTuners has been my favorite forum for nearly 2 decades!!! (Jesus I’m getting old)
 
Put the selector in park on trans and shifter. Put a drill bit or any other pin in the holes that should now be lined up and adjust from there... you got the hard part fixed

yeah I can handle that, I got the procedure for it saved in pdf somewhere, I just stuck it on there and tightened it down where just to make sure the car would move. It’s dark now so that a project for tomorrow. Thank you so much btw, I don’t think I’d got it figured out if it hadn’t been for your help, and tagging the right people to help me along the way!
