I converted a 4 to 6 in a 71. I also have a short shifter and the necessary spacer installed. The shift rod in the tunnel is scraping a gusset and causing a loud squeaking when put in reverse or 1st and slightly less squeak sound going into 4th and 5th. I have a video taken in the tunnel showing how it's interfering with the shift rod. Has anyone else had this issue and have a solution other than drilling a hole with a hole saw on the top of the tunnel and grinding some of the gusset for clearance? Thanks

we all had to bend the shift rod.

Inside the tunnel is likely the seatbelt anchor
