The one I got is like a universal one that requires parts to be cut. I have been playing with the one on the truck a little and have got it to shift a little better. But their is still something not right with it and I'm just not sure what it is.

How good is your transmission mount?  If it is original the trans/transfer case could be hanging lower causing it to bind...

Are all your body line's running even from front to back? I had a similar  issue yrs. back. Cab mounts were shot. My problem was from the column rod down to tranny linkage. All being offset enough not to get the proper throw, as the cab dropped.

My tranny mount seems to be in good shape. Not sure if it's original or not. The body lines of the truck are ok. It had been shifting fine and then all of the sudden it started to struggle getting into park and there is lots of play on the shifter when it's in reverse.

Pop the hood and inspect the rubber bushing on the steering column to the shifting linkage . Is there even one there?

from the pictures it looks good but is there play in it?

Yes there is and everything is tight. In reverse the lever moves a little bit and when it's out on park it doesn't really move the selector on the tranny. I'm really stumped on what is wrong with it I'm staring to think that the cab may have moved or settled a little bit or something.

Replaced the main rod that goes from the engine bay down to the transmission and it seems to shift fine now!
