I modify the stock ZF-5 shifter. If I don't get your core, then I can't modify them to send out. That's why Midwest Trans quit doing it becasue they ran out of their own supply of cores and didn't want to deal with a core charge and getting yours back. I don't have a choice, I MUST get your shifter core back.
Thanks for the info Jim. I've looked into these in the past but the vendor I asked wouldn't provide any info on why he needed a core, or any pricing info, and since I have the S47 I just gave up worrying about it.

I spent several months last fall trying to find a shop willing to make the shifters from scratch.
It's actually not too bad of cost to get them cast, problem is it's a 'small' project and all the cast companies here are too busy to care about the little guy. So I gave up on making new ones and have to rely on the cores.
Like I said earlier, the 47's have a slight advantage over the 42's, but there is still a noticeable decrease in throw. If you ever change your mind, or get to drive a truck with a short throw, let me know.

I have a couple sitting here ready to go, and I mod them as I get my cores back.
I tried to pm you but can't.
Shoot me an email, sales@RosewoodDieselShop.com.
