Default shifting problems
I recently bought a shifter linkage cover did not install it but put it on to see how it would look now it seems the linkage has a couple inch play(never messed with it before don't know if this is normal)but my heel shifter is now touching the floor board by the time I'm in 2nd and I can't get it to third thought I would throw it out to the experts before I adjust the shift levers I think I'm trying to move not fix the problem
Any thoughts
