<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hey Dwayne,

Last time I called FactoryPro, they told me that there is no "micro-bearing detent arm" available for the 1127 GIX motors... they told me that the arm doesn't have enough "meat" on it to safely weld the bearing on.

I did install one in an FJ 1200 and it makes a *huge* difference in the feel of the transmission - engagement into 2nd gear is *much* more positive and it remains easy to "find" neutral when you want it, but also makes it almost impossible to "accidentally hang" in neutral if you get careless or lazy on the 1-2 shift.

you should remove the oil feed pick up /filter and clean it out while you are there
, a 10 minute job once the pan is off
