Default Linkage problems/solutions for aftermarket shifter?

I am having problems getting my B&M shifter linkage to line up with the 4L60E. For one, I have the truck shifter shaft and gear range electronic unit installed on the trans, and that sticks out much further than my last 700r4 did. This causes my shifter linkage to not line up with my tranny pan bolts, but more importantly, do not clear my headers.

Anyone have this problem or know of any solutions for me?

You will need to change the shifter shaft. One out of a 98 to 02 F body is shorter and will work. When ordering one from the dealer ,don,t forget and order a new shift shaft seal and filter.Remove the pan to change the shaft, pretty easy to do.

Then what will you be doing for a park, reverse, neutral, safety switch...if you swap to the shorter shift shaft?

Exactly, I had the shorter shaft but my harness is for a 05 truck and they have all the park/neutral crap on that shaft so it needs to be longer..
