Hoping someone can help me with this. I removed my Turbo Action Cheetah shifter for some roll cage updates, now the shifter will not move down into 3rd gear. It's a reverse pattern shifter. It is not hooked up to the transmission, as I am waiting for the engine rebuild to be finished, and the transmission is also out of the car. It moves freely from park all the way through 2nd gear. If I remove the hold down bracket holding the cable to the mounting plate on the shifter inside the car, it will go into 3rd gear, but it moves the whole shifter cable, case and all. It's almost like the cable it binding, but the end of the cable where it attaches to the transmission still has room to move. I did adjust the neutral safety switch thinking it was stopping the shifter from going all the way to the rear, but that did not solve the issue. Any ideas? Thanks.
