so I'm still waiting on my kit, but I have all my powertrain stuff sitting in my shop staring at me

I've started to review the documentation for it...looking through the Tremec stuff, they suggest you verify that nothing got stuck/damaged during shipping by turning the input shaft by hand and going through the gears

initially I couldn't turn the shaft by hand, but freed it up with a little convincing

I can't seem to get the shifter to do much of anything though

Turning the input shaft is turning the output in the opposite direction...does that mean it's in reverse?

The shifter will move toward the driver's side fairly easily (and will move back to where it started when I let go...before I could turn the shaft, I assumed that meant it was in neutral). The shifter doesn't seem to want to budge in any other direction though.

Thoughts on getting things freed up?
