Man, I have done a short throw add on and can't imagine what it could be other then if it went in backwards or it was not made for that transmission... If it is something else, I'ld be interested in hearing about it.

Only manufacturer can help you out with that.


Ive got MGW shifter, and it went in without any effort or drama. U reuse the plastic cap on the end of the shifter ball that goes into the tranny, dont you? You didnt drop it and left inside the tranny?



Usually if something as simple as shifter install is going wrong, it means people cant follow simple instructions. [:'(]
