I hope I can clean it. I'm going to try cleaning it with brake cleaner, then bury it in oil dry for a couple days and see if that will draw the ATF out of it. I can't take a break from this truck. At the rate I have problems, if I take a break it won't be ready for RRE! LOL! I don't know though, maybe I should leave it alone for a while......it ran good til I got a hold of it! LOL!!

Yeah, my truck has been leaking oil from either the oil pan or the rear main, since the auto to manual swap. I hate driving an oil leaker, and I have planned all summer to pull the engine and fix it this winter. It ran and pulled so well this past summer, I am almost afraid to touch it.. I do need to get that intercooler installed though. I have the intercooler but need everything else. If anyone can help with locating parts, I'm in need.

I'd like to. Last time I talked to Jim he didn't have any made though. I may give him a call and check again.

Its very doable. I wouldn't doubt if Jim would help you with some measurements if he doesn't want to make you one.
You might also check with complete performance. I thought I remembered them making some.

Jim still doesn't have any and last I talked to him he didn't plan to make them any time soon, though he was trying to work with a supplier to get some done (with no luck).
They can be made DIY... There was a thread I bookmarked where a guy made the spacer himself using some pretty primitive tools and then used the shifter stub out of a ZF6 (it must be longer than the one in a ZF5). I can't find the thread now, but it looked pretty simple.
It also looks as though Dan at Complete Performance is making them now too...
ZF5 Short Throw Shifter(Modification)
Fleabay has them too...
