Hi-I rebuilt the auto shiftgate,following the tech manual instructions BUT with the adjustment on the linkage rod all the way back-making the rod as short as possible-it is still too long!I have the car flat on all four tires with blocks underneath them so that I can get under the car (71 280SL) I have loosend the the supplementary lever but the selector rod is still too long. I have the transmission supported exactly where it would be when the support plate was on. The only possible reason I can think of is that I've reversed the auto shiftgate when I rebuilt it .Is there a way to tell which is the front? Any help would would be great thanks Bill
