transmission experts step inside

Had a question, How hard would it be to change the range select shaft on a 2004 4L60e from a long one like this

To a short one like found on 700r4 and older 4L60e w/o the mounted safety neutral switch

is this something that's easy to get to by dropping the pan? I didn't know how involved this would be?

And anyone have any idea where I can get a short range select shaft online to make this swap?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can do this by simply dropping the pan. You need to remove the U shaped spring clip near the rooster comb and then back off the nut to remove the shaft from the case.
