and a couple of well known members here said this is the one to buy and that it was very good quality..In retrospect, I am thinking about the situation and wondering if the bolts they supplied with the shifter are too long and hitting something in the back part of the shifter perhaps? The bolts were pretty long. That is the only thing I am figuring..I should have gone with some guys shifter on here I suppose (Woody69 or something) :)
