Help! Sudden shifting problems

[Derrick Stikeleather]

Josh,

I think that *because* the engine is rigidly mounted to the transmission, it
causes a problem.  When the MM goes (and I think specifically it's the rear
mount near the firewall that's the culprit, but again, you better double
check) it causes a misalignment with the shift linkage and *that* is what
makes it hard to shift.

Good luck,
Derrick
