Wicked_36 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I recently installed a 4" lift on my 86 hatch. I then realized that I no longer could get into 2nd, 4th, or revers. I removed the plastic cover and shifer boot and got 2nd and 4th back. I then had to remove the 4wd linkage at the shifter to gain clearance for reverse. I know I am going to have to lengthen/ move the 4wd linkage and possibly the shift linkage. Anyone have this issue? Good solutions? Pics? Thanks.

MilesFox Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 you may have to cut out a nothc for 5th and reverse in the shifer hole, as i had to do with my "home made" lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy D Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 just take a sawall( or cutting device or your choice) and cut the square hole about an inch or 2 inches wider in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P K Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 This is very common, unfortunately. Usually, you can remove the shift rod from the trans and heat bend it to help clear. Also, you can slightly hammer on the boot hole. These are the two most common fixes. r/ PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
