I just finished installing my 2056 and tested everything on jack stands. I was able to get all five gears and reverse, no problem.

When I lowered the car on the ground and backed out of my garage I was not able to get first gear.

I did notice that the shift lever hits the base limiting how far back it will go.

I have read most of the forums referring to adjusting the shifter and it seems that if I shift into 2nd gear, loosen the bolt, move the lever further forward that will give me more travel shifting back into 3rd and 1st gears. I did this and got 1st gear but it still has a tendency to pop out of gear. I am going to try to adjust it that way a little further. Am I on the right track?
