My engine/gearbox is 'ergonomically' too far back for the direct shifter position (as we'll call Mike's setup), so moving a crossbar won't make any difference. I spoke to Ripshift about a reverse handle on their popular shifter but they couldn't make it reach forward enough.
All this is pretty frustrating, because we've actually moved the engine forward about 50mm on the mounts, so it was never going to work in the direct position. I think some of these Harrisons have a bit of variation in the way they're setup. By the way I did speak to Warwick but it's hard for him to troubleshoot from interstate - besides, we've dealt with it now.
See pic below for further clarification. The black gaffer tape is where the direct shifter goes and you can see that it's almost at hip level to the driver. It wants to be 4-5 inches further forward. If you can imagine the whole thing another 50mm back from what you see in that photo, that's how the kit was delivered. NQR.
