Default So after 5 hours of screwing around with my JHM SSK install . . .

I give up.

There's NOTHING i can do to get my car to shift into reverse. I've tried no less than 100 adjustments, each bolt in 1mm increments . . . no luck.

Me = very frustrated.

Any suggestions?

Default It took me forever to get it into place also...

for me I couldn't get it into reverse either for a while, basically find out where reverse is first then worry about 5th and 6th. The way it worked out is that I basically had to give it some force to get it into reverse and easily tuned for the upper gears. Having it in for a while now getting it into reverse is allot easier now then it was when I first put it in. Its like it adjusted itself.
What threw me off is that 1st moves slightly to the right whenever you are shifting it into gear.

Default This is all about the angle of the lower rod and shifter, Strat was

never a problem to line up for me - could set it wherever I wanted.

Default Re: I got the strat, reverse, 1st and 2nd give me trouble

At a light, I find that I have to engage 5th or 6th before I can get it into 1st.

Default Problem solved.

Needed a new day, a new perspective, and a new level of patience. The trick? Even though the included video said to line the shifter perfectly vertical, I ended up having to position the shifter so it leaned back and to the right a bit.
