The 1-2 and 5th gear shift fork plastic pads are no longer available from Mopar and unless you have a secret stash or know of one there are none left scattered around the country NOS.
Very simple question: What are you willing to pay for a direct OEM replacement ? $1? $5? or maybe even up to $10 for a direct drop in replacement part. Parts would be made of a similar material to the original or possibly a better plastic material that wasnt around 25 years ago. Reasoning for plastic is simple, it works and works just fine unless abused to infinity and beyond... So hold the hate mail on the metal vs plastic debate.
And please keep in mind, small volume intricate parts especially those that require injection type molding and/or CNC type work cost more than something that can be fabricated without specialty equipment. So please hold the hate mail there also...
I'm contacting a few different places that specialize in low volume plastic production and want a rough idea of what people would be willing to spend.
Thank you.
