i'm in my garage right now installing the schnell short shifter for my 987 and have the assembly taken apart - i'm on step 7 or 8 where the schnell bushings get put on, once the shifter is in the housing - however, the bushings don't slide on far enough to be able to put both snap rings into the bezel. any suggestions? does the white piece inside the metal bushing go further into the bushing to allow it to go further onto the shifter?

i could easily get one snapring on, but would have to push a lot of force the get the other end to be flush INSIDE the housing and that worries me - is this common/normal.

any help will be greatly appreciated - need to get the car back together to drive it on Tuesday
