Here are some instructions for that section of the transmission. Toyota =
calls the end of the transmission the "extension" and the tower is the =
"shifter retainer"

The part we do not understand is how to install the new housing shift =

to access the shifter shaft? Has anyone done this & could you explain =
the process? Does anyone know what I am talking about?
