The center section of the new shifter was contacting the shifter mounting base and the pivot arm was about 1/4" longer than the stock shifter which meant the cables were too short to allow for full engagement at either end of the shift pattern. No matter how I adjusted things I either gave up reverse or gave up 5 and 6th.

I am thinking I either got a bad shifter or I am doing something wrong. There are too many other people that say they have these units and love them....

I need to contact the seller today and see if something can be done...
From your post, I'm betting that you received the wrong part.
