Why is my shifter crooked after install?

[s99]

Just installed my shifter housing and support arm for a 4 speed late bracket style. New transmission mount / engine mounts. New bushings in the shifter platform. 

 

The shifter is angled towards the passenger side pretty severely. Making 3rd and 4th gears difficult to get to and 4th gear susceptible to slipping back out because of minimal engagement.

 

I can just slightly "push" the shifter into the position it should be, but doesn't stay. Its like the rod going into the transmission is rotated.

 

It also looks like my shifter platform bushing are crooked but have tried to untighten and adjust with little luck. I also tried to add an extra spacer to the tranny mount but that makes it to where the bolt is barely threaded onto the mount and I dont like that. 

 

Readjust engine mounts?

Different shifter bushings? 

Could it be any of the parts that havent been repalced #s 12-20 on diagram that could be shifting everything over?

If you readjust you shift tower mounts so that they are on the same plane as the tower (black plate) it should center itself properly.

You were on the right track with your illustration..

Drive out pin # 4 far enough to remove part 3.  Rotate the rest of the assembly 180 degrees and reassemble  drive in pin # 4.  It worked for me.  G
