Do you have all the parts to change the auto selector for the manual transmission shifer components? Some of the parts are prone to breaking. Would be really nice if someone had kits of parts to rebuild shifter assemblies (not just the shifter shaft and the funny ball thing at the bottom) so auto to manual conversions could be done with all new components that are subject to wear and/or breakage for use and aging.
