I was installing my shifter linkange and noticed the nut that holds the linkage bracket on the 700r4 tranny is missing (along with the stock bracket). I took a closer look and it looks like it snapped off at some time. My question is how hard is it to fix and is it possible to use the new bracket and weld it to the rod? The new bracket has plent to sit on--actually the rod stick out past the bracket by 1/8th of an inch. So there would be plenty to weld to. This really sucks since that is the last thing I have to do underneath and it will hit 60 degrees tomorrow. I really wanted to take it out and play.
