Finnished installing a Pro 5.0 on a 02gt. Hope I did this right cuz the instructions s***! When it's in 1st gear I can grab the shift handle and move it around so there is like an inch of play. When its in 2nd and I want to upshift the handle travels like an inch before disengaging. Did I do something wrong? This is supposed to be one of the easiest mods and if this is the way the new shifter works, then I think I might go back to stock.

Did you put the plastic bushing thingy on the bottom of the shifter that goes into the tranny?
