    It's probably a lot cheaper to trouble shoot the Megashifter. Lengthen the arm on the tranny.

    Biothree is probably right as far as cost, but i have a megashifter in one car and have never been pleased with it, Lokar in another it's worked a lot better.

    I had a Lokar and i could never get the neutral switch to work right. Thier directions are VERY vague.

    Did you install the B&M supplied shift lever on the trans? The throw of the B&M lever is set for the throw of the B&M shifter. If you did install the B&M lever you probably need to adjust the cable at the trans. I set them in park and then fine tune for 1st gear.
