[quote="SteveH"]My new guibo (4 speed, 8 bolt) is hitting the shift linkage where it enters the transmission. I pushed the linkage up, and spun the driveshaft, but it still hits the linkage. It appears the little tabs on the guibo are hitting the linkage, but I can't be sure.

When I tighten the bolts, the guibo is being pulled towards the trans and back towards the driveshaft.  It seems as though the driveshaft is too short, as if its missing a spacer to bring it closer to the trans. This casues the guibo to be bent and twisted. I don't think there should be any spacers, but it just seems that way. I also noticed when the bolts are tightened, and the guibo is twisted, the trans moves side to side as the driveshaft is spun. This appears to be casued by the twisted guibo. It seems to be hitting on only one tab of the guibo, and when the bolt for that tab is loosened, it doesnt rub as much.

Do the nuts and bolts need to be facing in a certain direction? Should there be a spacer or some small part between the guibo, driveshaft, and trans?

I had this problem with my previous guibo, which was fixed by tightening a loose bolt. This time, I can't figure it out.

Thank You[/quote]
