So....6 speed hitting trans tunnel?
 
I'm slowly getting around to making my 2004 MSM run again and went to install shifter. 4 bolts removed for clearance for install and now the "turret" is hitting the trans tunnel? Don't get it. Using Blackbird Fabworks stock hight motor mounts. Ideas?

Check your PPF angle.

I would think PPF angle is off too.

, sound about right?

Yeah, use that. Only issue is if your frame rails are crushed.

So with all ppf bolts loose I can get it to 70mm. If I hang on it while I tighten it best I can get is 77mm. Now what. I got no idea.

Well unbolted everything and motor mount too and than lifted motor and than put back down it in right spot. Maybe the bushings on the motor mounts were bind up.... Whatever its fixed. On to next issue.

Most likely the BF mounts. Are the coils or a reroute hitting the fire wall? Ground strap or wiring? 70mm is good and 77 may cause a driveline vibration.
