Same here. I threw the instructions in the round file 13 and figured it out myself after looking at it while enjoying a cold 6 pak. We don't need no stinking instructions ... just cold beer.

Conehead...look at the Pics above buddy! Shows the linkages to the outside of the shift levers! You sure you didn't go to a South Florida School like me? LOL

I am looking at the instructions right now, do not follow the picture in figure1 for the front (the back is exactly correct). In step 5 there are two sections, "1999 and later FLHT, FLHR and FXDWG" and "other". DON'T follow the "other" instructions. I think there is a typo they should have added FLT also to the first section.
I can send you some larger photos if you need, but I think you should be OK.

washer spacer
The washer really goes between the cover and the arm? Putting it between the cover and the new linkage would seem more practical. I would think putting it between the cover and the shift arm would make the cover prone to vibration as well as an added possibility of dropping the washer into the tranny during installation.
