Doesn't seem to want to go into second. In fact all the shifts back are extrememly short where as all the shift forward haven't seem to gotten shorter at all. Worn linkage or out of adjustment maybe??? I really need some help on this one guys. Let me know what u think.






how can a discribe it....yes the forward gears are more forward but that is because this shifter doesn't bend back to the driver.

in my car lets say third, is definately forward of where it was before, neutral seems to be about where third use to be and fourth is where neutral use to be

also about the second gear thing, hmouta said that his was hitting the plastic plate that goes under the shif tower, I don't think mine was but it was very close so that could be the issue

and to notch the console, it is a just a .25x.25 inch piece that needs to come out, hack saw and a dremel with cut off wheel will do the trick, it isn't that hard


also I have heard of people ditching the plastic peice and just getting nuts to use with the original bolts to hold the shifter in
