so i pulled the shifter off of the tranny and with the shift rod and shifter set in neutral the bolt holes do not line up and when i line up the bolt holes the shifter leans back like its in 4th gear? I know i have a ls2 shifter on the tranny but do not know what this tranny came out of. I was told it was a ls2 tranny but im starting to think maybe its a ls1 t56 could that be my problem? I was thinking bout just buying a short throw for a LS1 and seeing if that fixes my problem

The shifters for the GTO have an offset that mounts them back far enough to fit the opening in the tunnel. A F-body style shifter will not work without some sort of offset handle adapter. As far as I know, the T56 trannys are the same between the LS1 and LS2, other than the gear ratios. Are you using the stock GTO shifter?
