    narrow the shifter rod or change the internal shift rod that is in the new 60e with the shifter rod in the old 60.

    Ask a question anytime you need help, this site has been a huge help, only way one knows what to to is ask, someone here will be glad to help, I cut 1.5 inches out of my linkage today and had it re-welded, just make sure to cut it on the first straight part , do not forget to scribe a straight line on it so that you do not get the rotation out of place

    Thanks for the congrats, you will have you'rs running soon, I'm finishing up my 4/6 drop, then I have to wait on the pieces for my air intake, upper radiator hose, coolant and exhaust is about all I like being finished

    Yup exactly what he said, otherwise if its slightly twisted one way or another it throws the geometry way off and wont shift good when going from park to drive
