The cover at the rear of the shift linkage was left off at engine / transmission install by the shop. Owner said he left it off because "I always leave them off, you don't need it". Well I was a bit miffed but didn't say anything thinking, "well, I want it on there so I'll install it later".
Yesterday, looking for something to do I decided to put it on. Disconnected the linkage at the rear and slid it forward but it was just a tad too long to go thru the housing. Jumped inside, removed the armrest console and lower panel of the appearance group console, loosened the connection at the front of the linkage, removed it and upon returning to the rear discovered no increase in travel. Thats when I discovered that the bend in the linkage is the limiting factor as it hits the firewall before the linkage clears. Question; is the a way to clear the linkage with the transmission in the car? At this point my conclusion is the shop owner didn't realize that they had forgotten to install the cover and said to himself, "SHIT, I ain't dropping the unit to put it in, he can live without it" Thoughts, opinions, HELP |
