Just finished my fifth installation of my transmission in the past 2 weeks. I doing this alone so hope to heck I have the clutch throw accurate this time. Needless to say I have got the in and out pretty well down. But, the final step (for me) of connecting the shift rod at the firewall is a bi#ch. I have tried bracing the shift lever in the cockpit to hold in place. No good. I have held the rod with vicegrips at the firewall. Not much better. Any ideas? All of this is at jack stand level. I don't have a lift.

is this a tail shift thing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) i hooked mine up (side shifter) without a hitch. i did have my shifter removed, so i could pull the bar out quite a bit, bing bang boom, done. definetly scribe or mark the bar and the shift connector both horizontally and vertically before removing though, im still fine tuning mine after i newb'd it and just yanked it out. good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Dave
