Problems will not go away....
Ok I get the dumbass award for the year. I just got off the phone with Wayne from Brewer's Performance. It seems that my good intention of trying to fix my shifter myself has been my undoing. I had the shims in backwards and it was causing my problems. Wayne didnt charge me anything other than the cost of shipping the shifter back to me. I don't know what I would do without people like Wayne at Brewers; I had almost given up and was ready to throw in the towel.....
I would also like to thank Scuba0331 aka Steve for sending me the tab for the trans.
A great thanks goes to the rest of you that tried to help me....
Now to get it all back together and see if I can actually drive the car....then fix the exhaust...
Again thanks all......
