    Should have posted here I guess since it's K-Tuned related.

    Wayne what's your experienced opinion on this?

    K-Tuned shifter loose?

    OK, I can't seem to get the shifter to shift, I have tried adjusting the damn thing many different times and ways, it seems to move the shifting shaft in/out ok (3 positions) but not side to side. I'm hoping this is not a transmission issue ... Thoughts ???? Getting very frustrated

    Have you tried unhooking the linkage from the trans, putting a screw driver into the selector shaft and seeing it it will shift, move side to side? That should tell you if there are issues inside the trans.

    Yes, but that was a while ago, I guess I can try that again, but I assume that the shaft all the way in is 1st/2nd and to the left is 1st, right is 2nd ? and 3rd/4th is in the middle and left is 3rd, right is 4th and all the way out is 5th and reverse, left is 5th, right is reverse ?

    Looking at trans from the back: Left rotation is counter clockwise, Right rotation is clockwise

    Left In: 1st
    Left Out: 2nd
    Middle In: 3rd
    Middle Out: 4th
    Right In: 5th
    Right Out: R

    This seems odd as moving shifter left and right moves shaft in/out so moving from 1st to 2nd means moving shifter left/right

    You may have your cables mixed up b/w the shifter and linkage. Moving the shifter left/right should equate to rotating the selector arm counter-clockwise/clockwise.

    You're not the only one that reversed those at first
    Glad it was an easy fix.
