I'm installing a 4L80E into my '67 Firebird and I'm having an interference issue with the factory shifter linkage. The bottom arm of the shifter is hitting the rear sensor boss on the trans. I'd like to keep the factory shifter and it looks like I might be able to either bend or cut the arm and possibly redrill the hole in the arm for the rod. Anyone solved this issue before? Thanks.

I would take a grinder to that arm, so you would have about an 1/8" clearance, and call it good.

I removed the arm and added about an inch of angle to it and it seems to work fine now. Thanks all.
