GrkGuy, I took the shifter rod apart after I pulled the case, Followed the manual and thats how it said to do it.. There was 4 screws that had to have a impact driver to get off, that held basically pieces that held the rod in place. other then that, that was it.
Chuckie, ok that makes sense. Still dont remember any small springs so those might be bouncing around in there somewhere. or they were never put in correctly by the PO.
Hopefully I will be able to get it all gack in place without too much trouble when I start putting it all back together.
