ok straight to the point.

shifting to 2nd and 4th is a shorter throw than before a longblock swap.
reverse a little bit different.

1st, 3rd, and 5th feels normal to me.

Could this be that the shift linkage is bent. Let me know. Thanks.

 

help?

 

if you dont have any problems getting it into gear or keeping it there i dont see much of a problem.

 

it is a shorter throw with stock parts, yes its hard to get into 2nd and 4th its not the same

ima change the shifter this weekend hopefully that solves it.

 

if the linkage is not bendt, check the rod that comes out of the tranny case. if it's bend't, the gears won't stay in place!

check the rod if its bents? 1st, 3rd, 5th stays perfect others have a little problem

 

change the shifter and see if that helps, one time i installed a shifter backwards. i never took the car on the road to see if it would still work, let me know if changing the shifter has any effect on 2/4 gears!

 

ok yes i changed the shifter now everything is find
