Forgot to Mention
I would go to a junkyard, preferably a "you pull it" type and remove it from an existing motor. Just look for one that you have some resistance when you go to pull it off. If there is some good resistance when you pull it off, you should be ok when snapping it on your vehicle that it will stay on, i.e., that the male and female end is not worn excessively. Probably a $2 part at the junkyard. I actually bought the rod with the solenoid for $15 from the junkyard, working great!
