Another quick round of shifter fitting was needed. When we left off the 3-4 shift rod was just barely rubbing the inside of the tunnel in the 3rd gear position. That required removing the mockup motor and trans, shaping the tunnel a little bit more, and then trying it again. Glad it only took one round of this until I was satisfied. It does clear now but I’ll probably give that area an extra smack (for good measure) when it goes on the rotisserie for paint.
