Maybe so, I'll see if I can find a doner from the boneyard to test fit, should be cheap enough that it won't matter too much if I screw it up. Thanks for the idea!
Love all the unique ideas. I have a hydraulic cylinder on my trunk too, but only on one side. Also used a wiper motor off a 01 Neon and it is real similar to yours but I mounted it behind the firewall. Evil minds think alike lol...
Clever method of keeping the electronics hermetically protected-I dig it. I might have to duplicate that effort with the wiper motor as well-much cleaner looking install than the cumbersome stock style unit, or possibly 72BBSwinger's idea...
Modified bracket for OEM shifter cable in place on the 545rfe. Ordered a shift cable that fits a late model Grand Cherokee, it's much shorter than the RAM cable or the cable out of a late model Charger. Pretty soon I can sit in my drivers seat and shift while making sound effects!
