switch your shift likage,one linkage rod is for 1st and revers and the other is for 2nd and 3rd.you have a universal floor shifter?but the the pattern you say you have now 1,3
R,2 should work just fine,if you go by the shift know you'll have a hard time going from 1st to 2nd,would be just like an 8LL and anyone who knows what that is knows what a pita those were.
I tried switching them that's why i have the two different patterns listed. its going to be confusing as hell to drive that is why i ask for help so i can get this fixed the right way.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I seem to remember someone mentioning that if you put a universal shifter for a car in the shift pattern will be backwards like that. You might want to try the search. I put a direct fit hurst in my truck and have the normal shift pattern. When I had a universal one I had to take the ashtray out to get reverse. Needless to say i threw it in the garbage.
