Thanks guys for the input... I think I can cut that aluminum space in half and it will get the clutch rod lined up a little better, it is pretty close as-is.

Let's see your Challenger pics when you have a chance, I have a 71 R/T in the garage that is a long way from being on the street but if I keep it I will be putting some kind of OD manual trans in there. Should be a little easier as it is a factory 4-speed.
