Hmmmmm. You should be able to move the lever at the trans pretty easily by hand. You may need to drop the pan and have a look-see in case something is jamming it up.

i was thinking maybe i dented the pan and screwed something up. Family just went home so i can mess with it awhile this evening.

Ok, so im a dumb ass. I was looking at the wrong piece. it was the brace i kept banging on.


heres the actual shifter.

Cool. So it was on top like i was thinkin.

Yup, i had a fit of dumbassitis

It happens to all of us

Now its raining and crappy out, cant get crap done. Took the shifter bracket over to the ol'man to have him modify it for me. Hopefully i can get the driveshaft to the shop today or tomorrow.

Not far now. Just a lil bit to go.
Dont look like ill make the nats this year after all. Got to pay some bills off.

Nope. Thank god, all 3 vehicles are in need of some sort of attention now, Cavy needs brakes and a serp belt, and the olds needs new rear air struts.... Crap.

minor updates. Wiring is all but finished. Just have to track down one wire for the oil pressure. Seems to be MIA. Sent the driveshaft off yesterday, only thing left is to purchase a battery and have the exhaust done, and cut the nose off the air cleaner a bit. Almost there!
