    I thought about installing that linkage but my common sense side and mechanical skills tell me that if the original issue is just 1st to 2nd gear then it has to be originating in the gear box. If it was a slop issue it would be in all gears....JMO.

    All I know since I don't have a problem with the shift from 1st to second is the shift is crisper and shorter, gives it a less sloppy feel. Maybe they fixed the tranny in 2015

    I installed it to raise the lever and give myself more toe room. This itself improved the shifting.

    Mine should be here Monday. I also ordered it to adjust the shifter.

    Any chance on a few pictures of the new shifter?
