Well,

New trans mounts are in, ebay short shifter is in. Shifts are def precise right now, but still first and second gears are giving me problems. I test drive it with the new trans mounts before i put in the shifter and it seemed much better, but on further review ( esp when cold ) 1st and 2nd are pretty tough to shift.

Is it possible i didnt connect the linkage correctly? I am going to try and **** with it later, maybe even put on the OEM adapter but keep the ebay shifter stalk on there to try and see if there is a difference.

kinda POed, im trying to kill gearbox slop, not create more
