SMG to Manual Swap

[efrtysx]

If it's the original transmission, and it shifted properly when it was a SMG, it should shift properly now.

They F'd something up somewhere.

Exactly! Car was shifting perfectly fine before I took it. Whole reason I got the manual swap was because the PUMP was failing. Never had any issues shifting into gears.

What shop is this?

Why were they so quick to say it was an "internal issue" instead of taking the car back in to properly diagnose your complaint?

Do you know if they used your original bell housing or swapped it?

It was the original housing. You know what, I was going to live with it. But then I thought hell no! I took it to a shop to get it done 100% right. If I was going to get a shitty manual swap I would have just done it myself. I took it back to them yesterday, hopefully they do something about it.

from the driver position, if i try to go into 1st and 2nd (|) it doesnt go in at all. I need to move my elbow, in order to try and shift.

This doesn't help anyone to understand the issue of the gear box. Eveyone has different elbow position when shifting gears. Don't use your arm as a reference but refer to the position of the shift knob, i.e. "to get to 1/2 gate, the shift knob needs to move further to the left (or close to the center straight up, I don't know). There are 2 detents when shifting 1/2 and R: the first softer detent hits the stop for 1/2, and pushing further to enter the 2nd detent for R. Do you think you need to enter partially to the 2nd detent for 1/2?
