Ok Thats Great I Will Start On That But I Hope I Can Get The Indicator To Work.
If not some shifters have indicator light that light up beside the shifter, and most cars have the gear numbers beside the shifter on the floor, if your worried about having a non working shift indicator on the dash, get a manual transmission cluster, and remove the thing that takes the place of the indicator and put it on your cluster, kinda like a filler piece, it would then look factory
 
So i havent had time to look how the 45rfe is operated, but i was wondering if one of these will work with it? Or is everything electrical for it, the linkage and all. Thats probably a stupid question but im a newb so plz help.

And also... How hard is it to make up an overdrive button somewhere else, or what do you have to do with that? and cruise control will still work like normal?
I believe I already explained how, its just a button (older dodges are controlled by a button on the dash. Cruise control is controlled by throttle cable , not the tranny. And remember Mopar likes to keep things simple, your 46re is basically a 727 with an overdrive bolted to the back of it. So the cable operates the OLD 727 ( 1,2,D) and the button controls the NEW overdrive on or off. If you look at the automatic shifters on summit they operate like 5 different transmisions.

Contact Lokar, they will talk to you and tell you which one to buy.
Don't hold me to it but I think they recommended the part number FMS518-

That thing I have no idea on mann, I think you might be on your own. See if there is a cable going to it or if its electrical.
 
Well i checked it out the other day. And yeah the 45rfe has a simple cable on the 2000 model. It looks to be quite a simple mechanisim too.
