Pulled my shifter this afternoon to change pivot bushing and shifter gasket with new ones picked up from Jeff Watson...
So I pull the thing and there it is, the shifter gasket/ring in 1,000,000 little pieces (it was a "green truck" one).... with a bunch of little shit particles falling down into the tranny as I pulled it up.... I mean it was like a saltine craker had been put in there, and the shifter installed on top of it. I don't know how long it had ben in there (the car only had 5,000 miles put on it in last 5 years) but obviously waaay to long...
So how long should I plan on this one "living" I have heard of people "going thru" these gaskets prety quickly, but surely they don't all turn brittle and fall apart when you have worn them out right?
