Default lifting shifter solved!

if you guys remember, i bout my 94 about 2 1/2 weeks ago and posted up that the motor mounts were bad. my shifter was lifting aloottt and the whole thing would bang around if i got on it. very bad. so about 50% told me motor mounts, 50% told me c-beam. well, last night i got under to check the c-beam out. the front bolts were very loose! so i tightened them up... problem solved! now i can really get on the car, its great. would just like to thank everyone that helped me out, cause i would have never figured it out.

Thanks for posting the follow-up! We all learn from each other and it's good to know what the actual problem winds up being.

That's the beauty of the beam plates, it makes the job so much easier than the stock nuts. Just have to get the threads started and you're good to go!
