TH400 Selector shaft replacement

[Amtek]

After dropping in my rebuilt 350 and swapping in a new torque converter with fresh input seal, I began to service the transmission and took this time to try to replace the selector shaft seal. Turns out the PO had previously tried to remove/replace this seal with chisel/hammer/mace and really FUBAR'd the selector shaft. So bad that it looked like pit bull's chew toy. I was a little pressed for time and had no choice but to replace the seal anyway knowing it was gonna get chewed up and leak. I was on the 2nd day of the 2 day moving permit to get it smogged, which didnt happen and all the rush was for nothing.

I've looked the best I could, but only found defunct links. Does anyone know a source where I can get a replacement selector shaft for a TH400?

This is the only leak on my truck now and when parked facing down hill makes it spill more oil than the Deepwater Horizon incident.

Thanks for the replies. I asked one of the guys selling a 350 shaft if he had any 400's, Said he did and was in the process of putting them up. bought one from him and now he has more of them in his ebay store if anyone is looking for one. http://myworld.ebay.com/twistedwrench09?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1181

TH400 Selector shaft, nuts, retaining 'nail' and seal for $25 shipped is pretty good! The seal alone is about $6 at autozone. Can finally fix this damn leak now.

Just pad to your count to get it up higher or go to the testing forum and dick around there to get your count up. Then you'll be able to post URL's.
