Finally got it finished today. I have an intimate knowledge of how all the intricate linkages work now. Had to disassemble & reassemble more than a couple of times to get it all working right. On initial tear down, the yellow bushing broke. Newell couldn't provide part Number nor could 2 GM dealers. I did finally find a number on it last night while cleaning it up for JB Weld. If it turns out to be a good # I'll post it. During reassembly I rerouted harness to over dash mounting for more slack if there is a next time. The real problem areas were the dimmer linkage, the mechanism that the lock cylinder operates to to get the rod linkage to actual switch to move & be in the right position and locking pin spring got bound up on another spring. I am posting most of the pics I have. Thought I took more! I definitely will on next repair project. Being sure to up load them to computer as I go so that there is no chance of trying to interpret fuzzy pics when you need a crystal clear one. The reason project lasted so long was trying to find a replacement bushing & also a couple of days real work at my make believe job. The Youtube videos were VERY helpful although not exact match to Newell, they were close enough.
