Hi all.

Van was driving fine but transmission noisy. Swapped transmission and
input shaft. (DK)

Tested up on blocks. Seemed ok.

Test drive: reverse fine, BUT all forward gears feel like 4th gear.

"H" feels the same as before swap. I'm just about certain
flanges/input shaft turned at appropriate speeds on bench. On bench,
shift lever on tranny felt fine. Same as old one.

Likely I got something wrong in linkage where shift lever on side of
tranny meets the box on shift rod.

What am I missing? It only goes together one way where those parts
meet right? Or is something hinky at levers/springs in nose of tranny?

Really confused...... need beer.

Neil.
