Default Overdrive problem

When I finished installing my new shift boot today, and put the shift **** back on, the overdrive button (1986 on Shift ****) won't work anymore. It screws in like it did before, and seems to be going into the same place when I remove the whole plastic console and look at where the rod is actually going. Anybody ever have this problem before? Anyone know what could have went wrong?

You should have counted how many turns it took to remove the "T" bolt and then replace it with the same amount of turns. Try popping the switch cover off and adjusting it till it works.
Food for thought

Thanks Agent 86, I figured it out. While taking everything apart I probably took care of 50% of my rattles.
