Didn't realize it was a one piece setup and it appears the brackets are different 2bbl to 4 bbl .

Where is the SPRING that pulls the linkage FORWARD , the other end of that slotted flat bar is supposed to be up against the stud it slips over, that is why the trans is not shifting correctly . the 2bbl setup should have had a spring pulling it forward ...

also after you slide the flat bar on there is supposed to be a small flat washer that goes on there and then a clip to hold it all in place , where those parts on it when it had the 2 bbl ?
