I'm assuming that's a maddog thing only. I didn't have to do anything when I put in my mopar sts and the shifter sits right in between 3 & 4 in neutral. All shifts are smooth except down to first, which always sucked.

When I bought the mopure STS and was doing my research, I found that the main selling point of the unit was that the linkage geometry was intact, whereas 'most other aftermarket shifters arent engineered with this in mind'. This made sense to me so I picked one up and it has been a great product ever since. Perhaps the maddogg doesnt have the change in geometry needed so the adjustment has to be made at the screw on the linkage? And where did someone read that the adjustment should be done in first gear?

ok it will feel a little notchy while eveything is apart. mine felt wierd with everything apart but once i put eveything together it felt better just ur little notch that was there when you had the factory now feels bigger its just how the sts feel some click in and out of gear ours just feel like a big notch. i like it
