Yay!! I finally called B&M to get their input on why my shifter Detents are off. We'll, with me looking at the Installation on my computer and him looking at the Co' instructions, we found out that I was following old instructions. Everything that I had--could find said to set up the First Gear position. Then set the Park position and find a Happy medium between the two to have everything work. The new instructions state to set up Reverse, then Nuetral and last Drive while adjusting the Cable position jam nuts to fine tune it between the 3 positions. It worked!! Now it functions like it should and I dont have to hunt for Gear Positions. How nice is it to have a J20 with a Sharp-hard shifting TF727!!

Glad you got that figured out. I switched to Winters/Art Carr shifters many years ago and couldn't be happier, used them on several builds. I modify the gates so I can go from 1st to reverse in 1 motion and have a spot to hold each gear. They are robust and simple.
