Another "simple stuff." Remove the reverse lock out plate. Check it out. See if the lift to shift problem goes away.

check the simple stuff first.  Look at the condition of all the mounts and rubber underneath and look for a missing bolt or roll pin.

Do you think it is an alignment or mounting issue with the rod change assembly?

Do i need to replace/ rebuild the assembly?

Is there a rebuild kit that include bushing and what not needed, or does MM or anyone re-bulid them


Thanks for any insight

Steve / cooper tune here on the board re builds them. As you have to lift up you probably have an issue inside the aluminum housing with the reverse gate.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.
