Not a whole lot to report. Figured id take a step back and catch up on some stuff I skipped.
The gear shifter installation took the better part of the whole weekend. It wasn't difficult, just have to move back and forth from shifter to trans a few times to get it all dialed in. And then take it all off when you forget to tighten the actual cables in the tunnel cover slots... I took very few pictures so please ask if its not clear.
I started out by placing the transmission in neutral. Get the trans selecter lever in the center of its throw, and measure the push rod coming out of the cable sleeve and get it in the center of its throw as well.
Next adjust the cable clamp nuts ( the large nuts on the cable housing, not the nuts on the push rod) so that the ball joint lays over the ball when the cable clamp nuts are tightened against the trans cable mounting bracket. Snap them down, without moving anything.
Now to adjust the shifter shaft I basically did the same thing. If you haven't modified your shifters "horizontal" throw lever see my post a few pages back on installing the ball joint into the white gm lever.
Get the shaft in its center most position where it has equal throw in all directions. Line the cable ball socket joint up with the ball joint on the bottom side of the df machined "reversing" lever and tighten cable down against the tunnel cap bracket. At this pint you'll have to remove the gm shifter housing to tighten the cable nuts against the bracket.
It is then very easy to adjust the shifter using the supplied push rods. Note they have reverse threads on one side and you'll have to use the similar reverse threaded ball joint socket.
