Kris, like Marty had mentioned I would try the rear most hole on the tab. Also do you have a TC drop? Those with substantial drops may have issues as well due to the change in geometry. In these cases it may require our 242 extension tab (which is coming soon). Just let me know if changing the hole + lengthening the linkage doesn't help and ill be sure to hook you up with an extension tab as soon as they're available.
Thanks again!

Figured I'd post up since I just started messing with this today. I got mine with the pre order it came within 2 days of boostwerks saying they got the shift levers back. The first thing I did was put one of the ends in the rear hole of the bracket cut the stud and rounded it off before even going under the jeep. This eliminated all of the clearance concerns . I don't have it dialed in yet waiting for the wife to sit in there and tell me where natural is while I adjust it. But the throws are nice and crisp no sticking or getting stuck in gear like before

That was very difficult to read...but let me say that the shift lever itself is no different between the 231 and 242, just the shift gate, which is that metal bracket shown in my pic above.

Sorry i was on my phone and walking. I changed the shift gate because it is different. I looked at the arm off the shifter on the bottom side and it looks the same length. So i just did the shift gate and tossed the shift assy itself. It goes in to all gears just hard to get out of 4 lo. I also have no drop on my case its in a stock crossmember. It may sag due to a weak mount. Im going to try the rear hole (gigity)
