I put the shifter assembly onto the transmission today.

From the centre firewall area, there is a fairly straight shot to the cable mounts:



Unfortunately, it seems excessively hard (operating the levers manually) to shift into 1/2/5/R. 3/4 are normal.



I think the centering spring force is creating too much friction in the mechanism. I installed the mechanism dry (I didn’t pre-oil it), which could be a factor.

I might get springs that are in-between (in terms of stiffness) stock and the ones I have now.
