Does anyone make/sell the solid slider keys? My tranny got stuck in 4th on Christmas night. I got it out of gear by pounding on the shifter, then was locked out of 5th and 6th. On the way home I got it to go in all gears. When this first happened it also was very hard to move the shifter in neutral. Now seems to be working ok, but using the search it sounds like a bent 3/4 fork and overshifting 4th caused the slider keys to popout, then break when I forced it out of gear. I wasn't even driving hard when this happened.
People said to replace the stamped slider keys with solid ones to avoid this again but I can't find anyone that sells them. Anyone know where I can buy these? Will also be puttting in a shifter that has stops!

I'm about to replace my 3/4 sliders, with billet keys also $99 is alot for those things. btw when my car got stuck in fourth I pulled tto the side of the road and stalled it and it popped right out of fourth.

How many sets do I need? Am I causing more damage if I drive it more? Like I said, the tranny is working fine now, been babying it, and only drove a few miles, but don't know how long till I can get the bucks for the rebuild 
.
Thanks for the input! Good to hear that someone has used the solid ones and they work!

Same case as santiago here. Pulled over, killed the car, popped right out. I don't use 4th anymore though. If i put it into 4th, itll "come out" to go into another gear, but 4th gear is still engaged. Yeah, its fucked up. Time to rebuild!
As far as sets, I'm almost positive you only need one set. There are 3 slider keys for the 3/4 assembly, and D&D shows 3 keys there. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It really isn't good to drive on it with it messed up. Reason being is it can start problems with other parts. With metal fragments floating around inside the tranny it puts undue wear on everything else.
