i'm willing to bet, thats what the problem is....

 

its not... the shift rod looks like it got push hella far back... HELP..

 

did you cahnge out your mounts for aftermarket?

 

i currently have aftermarket mount on it but before i pull the motor out i always ran these same mount..HELP!!

 

well lets see here... your using the same mounts so therefore the distance between the place the shifter goes thru the floor and trans couldnt have changed (wouldnt of changed either way stock or aftermarket mounts). If your motor is sitting in your car correctly and you have the shift linkage bolted to the body of the car then sir i do believe u just need to take your shifter out and flip it around. After you do that lmk how it worked.

 

i try that like 10ooo time.. still no luck

 

Did you do anything with the Flywheel?

 

no ... i just got it resurface .. that about it.... but HELP ME SOMEONE..
