Your having problems because the rods are not made correctly. Wait til you get the trans in the car and try to fit the rods around the torsion bar crossmember. The rods should look like this:

I bought most of the rest of the parts I needed for my 4 speed swap from you guys a few weeks ago. I bought the OE style clip and washer set because I didn't like the little cotter pins these came with. In fact when I first bought these rods and saw the cheesy nylon bushings on the ends I wished I'd just bought the real deals from you guys in the first place.

Do you think the 1-2 and 3-4 rods will have interference problems too? They seem similar to the original style.

Looks like reverse wants to go directly through the crossmember though.

Part of your problem is that shift box mount , the box is tipped a little too far forward , just pony up for the correct rods tightwad .

The shifter mount is brand new A body billet piece from Brewers. It might look tipped because it's in reverse in the pic. I agree I was being a tightwad on the rods...trying to save $40 is going to cost $130.

Now I just need to get one of those cool rt angle alignment tools shown in the pic.

It's a 1/4" diameter piece of round stock , A long dowel or drill bit works in a pinch.

I use a shortened drill bit, I just sometimes have trouble finding in my messy toolbox. That white tool would be easy to spot.

the guys you should of got your rods from nailed it. Also if you can get the rods to work...They always need adjusting as they were heat treated originally and these cheap expensive repo's are not and easily bend from use....
