Man had a tranny swap to do from a bad 4th gear, and now can't seem to get the good (worked fine from donor van) tranny to find all the gears nice and simple like it should..

the 1 page directions are fairl simple and clear.. is there anything else i need other then luck, and more patience?

I've already had a email help from 1 listee, and hats in general said you need 3-4 people to hold all the crapola in place and get lucky to have it in such a fine alighnment..  

man i do miss ealrier style shifter over the side-nose shift. 

this is on a 1982 diesel body, with a 1981 AC tranny (BH&input swapped).

Thanks  for any additional insights and at least letting me vent a little.
