Yeah I didn't turn until it was snug just until it stoped turning in. I right know just switched trans unit and I am having the same problem. My old trans worked awsome. For some reson having abit of trouble getting this one to shift. I am starting from sratch just like you and I will let you know how it worked out for me. I will also try spraying alittle wd40 in the gears or the shifter. Good luck man hope you get it.
