I personally believe that failure to align the bell housing properly is the cause of 98% of the transmission shifting complaints on this forum, regardless of the manufacturer. When I was up at ERA many moons ago, it literally took them the better part of a day to get my Lakewood aligned, doweled, and bolted up to my FE. And that was with the engine on a stand, not in the car. This point can't be emphasized enough when your drive train is being put together.
I assume you're talking about the hydraulic shifter ?

If so, I just have the normal. I didn't want the headaches of the hydro I hear about, especially with the confines on the Cobra.
