I should have payed more attention to removing the old throttle, I have the shifter reversed and it's going to be a biotch to change. I have a feeling my shift habits will adapt.

As an aside, the front bottom bolt hole on the Dana unit perfectly aligns with the cutout for the factory Merc kill switch, aka you need a big washer.

What about a single lever side mount shifter?
