Engine swap. gearbox cables and gear selection problem. need urgent help

Post by b145t3r »

hello everyone.

i made turbo conversion, engine, gearbox, tank, ecu, hubs and driveshafts, brakes.

engine runs, everything is fine except gear selection.
is it possible to mix cables? because shifter stands not in the middle but to the side of fifth gear and and a bit to the front of the car. the gears can be turned on is only second forth and reverse.
can't turn 1st, third and fifth because it is and the wrong position.

any ideas whats is wrong?

thanks
