I have run into a weird shifting at issue. with a stock shifter and lockout plate, i am unable to shift into first. however with the plate removed, it will. i also used one of those empi fake hurst shifters and it is fine too. i have the plate installed correctly. it just feels like i am hitting something solid. the tranny is new. just installed a new shift bushing. rod looks fine. any ideas?

The carpet kit hangs a little in the tunnel. Not much though. Also the shifter is in great shape and the pin looks new. I installed the same plate and shifter in another bug and they work perfectly.

Not sure about your carpet comment. What are you saying?

How is your rear shift rod coupler?

Just thinking of any possibility. Coupler is a urethane one and is almost new.
