    The stick on my Eaton flops around every which direction in gear or out of gear.
    The model number is RT0F-14908ll
    Anyone know which shift stub kit I need? Or how to find the right one?

    The Eaton Tranz. have most all use the same rubber bushing that has pins thru the base of steel shaft that sticks up out of top of trans. and will be frozen in place, if you pull up the rubber that goes into the floor of truck and has gotten salt spray all over it for years and willl take a lot of wd/40 or what ever you wish to start off putting on it before you start trying to pushing it or beating it thru the lower Shifter steel shaft?

    A good C-Clamp, deep well socket, and short pin to push old pin out works really good to get those pins out of the isolator bushing.

    Yep, needs am isolator kit. Do yourself a favor and do the big o ring on top of the stub shaft ball. You'll have to pull the tower spring. When they wear out it pushes the stub shaft up, and the stick comes out of the shift rails
