Default How can I shift thru the gears on my tranny without it in the car?

the shifter rod on the transmission just seems to go in and out, not side to side...thoughts?

Default the L/R action is actually twisting the selector shaft iirc.

with the shaft halfway IN/OUT you should be able to turn the shaft clockwise/counterclockwiswe a little bit. remember that the 6" of movement you have side to side at the shifter in the car is going to be a much shorter sweep tho it will be the same number of degrees.
