Check that the coupling at the back is in good order....there generally isnt any adjustment side to side on the scat shifter which usually means it bolts straight on and works.

no, the gearshift linkage goes through a bush inside the tunnel just behind the shifter

Sorry for the stupid question, but you didn't leave the factory reverse lock-out in situ did you?

A POSSE AD ESSE.

Try moving the shifter base to the left first.
If the base is too far to the right it will cause the problem you are talking about

Talks about it on page 5
