Hi, Greg -
Since I didn't have an old pad to look at, I have no idea how thick the
original pad was -- or what it was made of. I cut a piece out of scrap
linoleum (1/16" - 1/8"?) and shaped it to fit the recess, and it has worked
fine since 1993. As long as the pad will prevent the shifter rods from moving
far enough to let the springs and balls of the sliding hubs get loose, it
should be O.K.

I can't for the life remember if I put that pad in when I assembled my bell
housing. I see that it's N/A at Moss. How thick should the pad be? Guess
I'll drop the tranny next weekend and take a peek.
Thanks,
Greg

The pad is installed in a recess between the adapter bell and the gearbox,
so
you do need to separate the bell. The recess in the bell is for clearance
for
the shifter rods.
