MGW Shifter Installed. Help!

[PAULIE B]

[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] I installed the new MGW shifter on Sunday. Install went smooth. Followed the video to the T. I drove for a little while last night. The shifter is a little taller then the stock. I can deal with that. I did notice that when in gear I can move shifter back and forth and in neutral If I move it back n forth it's sort of sluggish to get back to the sitting position. Is it supposed to do that? Did I do something wrong on the install? I think that I have to tear it apart and check the bolt for the linkage rod?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I didn't put the MGW shifter in, but I did install an aftermarket shifter and, from what I read, mine doesn't do those things.

Ok, I called MGW and they said exactly what I thought. I didn't tighten the linkage rod bolt all the way. I thought I did. I used all my might when I tightened it up. I had time today so came home from work a little early (because it was bothering me lol) took it all apart but not the shifter it self.
Unscrewed the linkage rod and aligned it, added lock tight and tightened it all up. Before I put console back together I checked and no movement.

So now I am an expert on taking it all apart

Just make sure to follow all instructions and tighten bolts and use lock tight. I will take it for a ride tonight.
