Welp, I'll get the parts ordered tomorrow. We'll see the price, I found some year old prices. Might be better off getting the hurst unit from Summit. Assuming it eliminates the need for the bushings, ball and sockets..

Judging by the installation PDF it eliminates the whole ball and socket setup. If the parts are over $120 I think I'll just get this.

Well, for about half the cost of what the dealer wanted I found a kit from drivetrain.com. (1-800-216-1632)
Part Number: ALTM5R1-105K. Cost is $65.80

The sales rep was very knowledgeable about this transmission and the common shifter issue. The kit includes everything to fix it, bushings, new stub, gasket, and even the 2 pins that the dealer couldn't find in the computer.

Hope this helps out future members with the same issue. I'll be sure to post the results once I get everything in!

Thanks again!
