Ryan,
I would look at the shifter linkage bits.. from the top.
Remove boot; remove 3 screws, plate, spacer, lever, plastic cup and
spring. If any of those are missing, you get what you got. Take a
look at a parts diagram to be sure that stuff is there in order. You
would've removed the shift lever when you removed the tranny, maybe
all the pieces didn't go back in?
I recall this exact scenario at a racetrack in
Michigan. Borrowed pieces from a street car to get going.
