Having dumb shift linkage problems.

Put an Avid shift linkage on the crx. LS motor/trans. w/ a ls shifter. Everythign is in to spec, and for some goddamn reason, it's not shifting right still. it shifts about like it did when I cut my old linkage down to work.. so i thought my cuts and welds were off and aparently they were probably fine. anyway, It wont stay in any gear other than 3rd or 4th.. cant even find 1st or 2nd.. i think.. ---- is wierd

Hahaha, your swap threads will never end. By the time you're done you'll have a thread about axles, shift linkage, mounts, and about 20 on random other ----.

Did you install the shifter backwards?

I dont believe so. but i'll change it around just for fun. It will only go into 3rd and 4th.. i cant find 1st 2nd 5th or reverse. I swear i got the linkage installed right.. only thing it could be to my knowledge is the shifter.
