[QUOTE="rjm-1, post: 13038794, member: 110374"] Pulled the shifter assembly out this morning and examined all the parts. No bent arms or any other noticeable damage. Laying there under the car I looked at the transmission cross brace and wondered if was possible that they had reinstalled it upside down. Certainly if it was 2" or so low, that would affect the shifter. I took the transmission brace down and installed the rubber mount onto the other side and reversed the brace. It seemed like I would really have to jack the transmission up quite a bit in order to start the bolts but it was worth a try. The brace is not flat and has a definite hump and could go on either side. Ford embosses the word "Forward" on both sides but does not say which end is up. Before jacking it into place, I decided to look at some youtube videos of shifter and driveshaft installs. Sure enough, there it was. They had installed the brace upside down! Normally you don't have to worry about it because there is no reason to remove the rubber mount. But these guys didn't have a clue. After putting everything back together the shifter works like butter with no metal to metal contact or harshness!! Well at least the shifter problem they caused is now fixed and all I have to deal with is the driveshaft problem. [/QUOTE]
