found em george. mine were actually on the outside of the shifter under the diamonds. i tried every pair of snap ring pliers i own and tried turning the ring every way i could.... i ended up prying them out with a screwdriver... new ones are cheap, and i'd rather have new anyway. anyone have the specs on the shifter 0 rings. i was dumb and assumed they would be the same as the plungers... not so much. doesn't look like i'll be getting the trany back together this weekend anyway
