I think the data was posted on here several years ago, but I couldn't find it and even it I did, I suppose it would be out of date.

BUT... ...even with the data you'd be in a fix because the motor is not a "serviceable" item, meaning the entire shifter mechanism has to be purchased. This gets expensive very fast (I think it was something like $200 or so?).

Bottom line: The only real option is to trade other teams for them.

Sorry.

Thank you guys so much for your help. I have been scouring the internet and haven't had much luck. We may go the trade route, we have many options in that department.
Thanks,
