Re: Shift Linkage

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Adjust the shift linkage. It is adjustable @ the splined shaft undr the car 
that is held by a pinch clamp with a 13mm bolt and nut. Try adjusting it one 
way and if the doesnt work or makes it worse then go the other way.

Sorry, Tosha but your method is not a very good one. You are telling people 
to misalign the shifter assy in the car. If you loosen those 2 10mm bolts 
then make sure that the holes in the plate and in the shifter carrier are 
lined up. There are 2 and they diagonally oppose each other.
