Sorry It took so long to respond, I've been out of town since last Sunday.
I'll give you a call in the morning (Saturday morning).

Matt email me. If you still have it, ship the shifter shaft back to me, I'll be happy to refund you the $20 price of the shifter shaft ($25 less the $5 shipping = $20).
When I wrote "Thanks for your order. If you're happy with this part tell other Viper owners, if not tell me." at the bottom of my invoices I actually do mean it.
