[QUOTE="rjm-1, post: 13036160, member: 110374"] OMG!!!! Can my day get any worse? The guys at the garage put the original driveshaft back in today and tightened everything up so I could drive the car until a new shaft comes back. Well when they were done I started her up and it would just barely engage reverse. Then all forward gears would engage but bottom out hitting hard metal to metal at the end of the shift stroke!! WTF!!! Had them raise the car back up, loosened the transmission cross brace and made sure it was free and centered. Looked at everything including the MGW shifter linkage and took it for a test ride. Same thing!! Shifter is now too far forward in the hole and hits the MGW plate in forward gears. Obviously they bent or damaged something while lowering and raising the transmission trying to jam the new driveshaft in. I know I should make them fix it, but now I don't trust them and don't want them to touch my car! I'm going to remove the MGW connecting arms to see if they're are bent. They do not appear to be, but there is no way to be sure without removing them. I did talk to George at MGW and he is also convinced that something got bent during the driveshaft work. I usually do all my own work and have had few problems. I went to my buddy's garage because I have a bad shoulder and back and decided to let the professionals do this job. What a mistake. Bummed................ [/QUOTE]
