I don't even want to count how many times I have done this job and this is the first time a problem developed. A 76 with a slightly different engine mount system. The cross bar is hard bolted to the engine, transmission mounts are in the chassis and the cross bar bolts up to them. Never noticed it before, is this standard on the 76? The trans mounts up front did have about an inch of washers taped together to make a spacer. It went in so the engine sat a little higher in the chassis.
Anyway, now it is back together and the shift linkage is binding. There is no visible interference on the linkage, all I can think of is the spacers must have been there to align everything.
I will make up the spacers and drop them in tomorrow, just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this setup.
