Column shift to floorshift conversion
I put a floor shift conversion in my truck and the shift pattern is screwed up. 
Original R 2
pattern: 1 3
my new 1 3, 3 1
pattern: R 2, 2 R
the shift R 3
**** says: 1 2
I need some help figuring this out.
Pattern changes if i switch the shift linkage. I could use all the help i can get.

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'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.
