Distance between the holes was a consistent 9.25”, throughout all gears. I measured from the trans X-member to the lever holes - maintained the 9.25” separation
Are you saying is the measurement of the shifter lever to a fixed point subtracted from the measurement of the trans lever to the same fixed point is 9.25 in all gear positions?
Then the levers would seem to be correct and I can't come up with a reason the trans and selector don't agree
How many shift positions does the trans have. Is it possibly an od trans?
How long is the shift rod that goes between the shifter lever and the trans lever?
This is the levers sold by classic as 66 to 69 A Body automatic floor shifter.
