I am having a problem getting this transmission to adjust properly, the transmission I had in before was fine.

Turbo action shifter, cheetah valve body 904, same as the trans removed. All I changed was I added a CSR shield, and re-routed the shift cable, and beat the heck out of the floorpan. I can adjust the linkage where it engages each gear perfectly but will not engage park enough to work the neutral safety. The wheels will be locked(on jack stands) but it will not start. If I adjust to where it starts it will not go into high gear. This shifter has been in since 2010 with no troubles before.

I have another cheetah VB I could install, would that make the difference?

See the attached picture. In the pic the shifter is adjusted to fit the other gear positions perfectly, and the trans is fully engaged into park.

Thoughts?
