Steve, the instructions on how to set up the shifter relative to the detents are pretty clear. Not sure why you would be having problems with the tranny not being solid in each gear position. The only reason you would have to cut off the OEM shift lever is if someone welded it on in the past - there's not one type that you cut off, and another that you don't. The point is that you've gotta have the LOKAR shift lever to match up with the LOKAR shifter lever, and then I found that it's critical to follow their direction regarding which side of the two levers the Heim joints ride on. If you try to fit them a different way it doesn't work so good.... Like it says in the lead in paragraph of the instructions, "Read the instructions all the way through before you attempt to install the shifter components." Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks Roger, I haven't had my truck home since last July, but when it gets here I can reply with more info. I believe when I read the instructions it said you mioght have to cut linkage if it interfered with the new connection. In my case it did not. I will update you once I get the truck back. Hopefully
next week as the case may be!
