I'll check that interior plate. The skid plate was off when I first installed the blocks. I didn't re-attach the tranny till after I was done. Just feels like the boot or something is tight and is slightly hard to shift into 2nd and other down gears.
yes, that's what i had too, move that metal plate over and it will solve the problem, you don't need much to get it right, i used self tapping screws at the time
you might get away with bending it (read that somewhere) but can't tell for sure since i didn't do it that way
