Can't shift to first gear on 4L80e swap.

I did my 4l80e swap some time ago and used the lokar linkage. I noticed going through the gears it doesn't go all the way to 1. Do I need a different column? I had a turbo 400 before.

What did you figure out? I have the same setup but didn't fix it because I broke the truck down to be painted

I had to swap in a column for a 700r4. It will have more throw and your detents will be a lot closer to right

I haven't messed with it yet but that's good to know. Might want to add tilt anyway. My concern was how it was going to dyno, but I read you do it in 3rd gear.
