Yeah, I was confused by the sound because at first it sounded like grinding a gear but the bangs didn't feel the same. I ended up putting it all back in the air, rear wheels up with TC/SC completely off... and noticed the bolts that go into the driveshaft propeller were banging into the shifter linkage. No clearance on the lower gears like 2, 4, etc. Upper gears seemed fine.

I can't speak on anyone else's shifter, since I don't have anyone elses. LOL
But this does happen with azn's.
Only the bottom gears (2, 4, 6) and its at the linkage, maybe about 1-2 inches out from the shifter itself. It bangs into I believe 3 of the bolts that go into the driveshaft propeller there. (3 kind of stick out further, and 3 don't, its the design on it) It is for a fact banging into the bolt heads though.

I installed the revshift trans block last week and have azn2dmax's shifter and had the same problem with the linkage hitting the driveshaft. There is a very easy fix for it. Take the shifter back out and take the white 2 piece coupler that goes around the ball of the shifter and flip it the other way. Reinstall and you will have no problems. By flipping the coupler it raises the shifter slightly and there is no problems.

Hmm... Wish I would of known that prior to buying the UUC and swapping it out for the AZN. Not that I regret it, and I got an awesome deal at $140 shipped for the UUC. But would of saved me some time and hassle.

I know. Precisely why I'd like clarification on what he meant.
Right. I understand this thread. Just trying to link his explanation to this discussion.
He mentioned using a spacer to the same end. But in at least 2 other threads-I thought he said you had to notch something if you raise the pivot.
Here it is. Spacer and modify, OR flip the white thingy.

^^that lowers the trans. Install a spacer under the shifter ball and cup and modify the internal hold down plate inside the console or simply flipping the cup upside down may do the trick. It raises the shifter and linkage about 3/16". The grooved cutout in the nylon cup should be facing down to raise the shifter.

Bringing up an old thread but I wanted to say that with a combination of a cs8.8 with the DSS drive shaft a uuc shifter and a revshift trans insert does not work!!! I had a little clank at initial acceleration in each gear that I couldn't figure out. Well I figured it out because it was magnified with the revshift insert. Which led me to this thread lol. The shifter would tap the driveshaft but with the insert it indeed rides on the drive shaft now. So I either need to remove the insert or ???? Lol
