Transmission Aft Throw Lever Hitting Transmission Mount

Posted by Packard 1948 On 2015/8/4 10:32:57

Hi All (me AGAIN),

The engine and transmission are installed in the car however it seems that the forward throw lever (second direct) hits the left side aft engine mount (bell housing mount) when the lever is moved to the full aft position.

The aft engine mount has two sets of bosses (threaded holes) and I have had to use the forward set because when the engine is mounted to the front engine mounts (Series 22nd) then the aft engine mounts align with the forward set of bosses.

Can the throw lever be "phased" differently on the shaft? In other words, could it perhaps be that when the transmission mechanic mounted the throw lever one tooth off?

Any help/experience would be appreciated!!!
