Ok, maybe images will help. (sorry for the tremendous image sizes)
Also, I noticed where the shifter should be seems a lot closer to the front...which doesnt make sense since d/s seems to not want to straighten out. Unless (this just occurred to me), I need to use a diff yoke? piece that slides into the tail end of the trans? Shit, idk..
This came in the tail end of the trans I swapped in:
You can see it mounts flush. Also, wtf is that gap in there?!
