{}-->Hi Tim. Not much help with your specific question as I did my BN7 tun=
nel work 25 years ago and no longer own the car. However, one thing I wish =
I would have done is to really re-engineer the way the tunnel and bulkhead =
pieces fit together, and made strong fasteners that could pull the seal tig=
ht and prevent the heat from flowing into the cockpit. If only ---=C2=A0=C2=
=A0 I think it would have been simple enough to do before the engine was in=
the car but I just didn=E2=80=99t remember and appreciate what a bodge it =
really was as original. =C2=A0If you do that and pull it up tight you may b=
e able to better judge whether your shifter will function properly. Jim =C2=
