Short Shift Install Question

[Handyjay]

Just replaced the plastic bushing for the throttle rod. Had to remove the shift mechanism. I have a short shift kit. When I unbolted the shifter 3 allen head bolts
and 2 smaller allens a spacer block dropped down into the tunnel so I did not see how it was fitted. If appears that it spaces the rear of the shifter as the holes align with the 2 small allens but that doesn't seem to work. What am I missing here?

Some of the short shifters use a base plate to lift the shift tower, but I can't think of how a spacer at the rear would help. You might want to add some pictures to help get soe additional comments.

Just a thought... it could be a spacer to lower the 90 deg bracket under the two smaller allens to space the shift rod down instead of using the large base plate.

Rahl, will try to send 3 pics. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, regarding the spacer block for the existing short shifter, did you determine how it goes together? I have the same issue with my '77 930.
