Angry B&M Quick Silver pissing me off

This isn't mine but a buddies and it's pissing me off. We had it on an 80E and put in a TH400 today and got everything done and working. Well something is up with the linkage adjustment and we can't get the damn thing to work right. It's a TH400 with a Reverse Valve Body and Transbrake. Anyone else have this problem or anything? Everything checks out like it should. Shouldn't it still work with the Reverse Valve Body? We are having a problem with reverse and 1st gear.

If it is for a forward pattern valvebody, I don't believe it will work correctly with a reverse pattern.

BTW, I hate those shifters with a passion.

I think it's pretty neat when the damn thing works. I've been searching and reading up on it all night and it says that it works with a Reverse Valve Body. I don't know what else would throw it out of wack. We've adjusted this thing countless times today and still no luck.

I just tried to adjust it again and two gears keep making the car go in reverse. So it does this P R R N 2 3. So I have no 1st. I can manually put it in first and it works but not when I do it with the shifter, but then again it shows to be in the correct spot and everything.
