On the transmission there are two arms connected to the shift rods that go up to the box on the steering column. The arms are 1st,n, reverse, and second,n, third. Make sure the arms on transmission are in neutral.On the steering column, if you look at the shift box, (with the two arms) Have someone inside the truck shift into neutral. The arms should be even with one another and you should see movement of the shaft in the box.Now connect the shift rods and adjust the clamps on the rods, when the shifter inside the truck moves freely in the neutral position tighten the clamps and you shoul be ok.
