The upper transmission shifter face sits level with the interior shifter hole, if not slightly above it, centered right to left, forward to aft, if not a bit forward. This is surprising, as the engine was mounted a whole 1.5" forward in the 28o z and still sat near center of that shifter hole. The 24o must be about that much trimmer in the middle.
This is the shifter that came with my rb25 series one transmission. It has 3 metal snap rings and a plastic ring that holds it into place. The large ball has slots that pins on the transmission slip into, and the plastic ring seats over the ball once it's fully dropped into the transmission, followed by the snaps.
A bushing goes over the lower ball end, which is supposed to slip into the transmission link. It's difficult to insert it as it's a few inches down and will rotate around the ball. It needs to be perfectly perpendicular to the link face and inline with the hole before it will drop.
I ordered a new bushing and greased the ball before popping it onto the shifter. Being mildly sarcastic, it was not as easy to force it to drop into the transmission link however, and required some adjustment. This may be because through an unfortunate turn of events perpetrated by a strong clutch, a weak slave cylinder, and forcing 2nd gear, I now actually have a neo transmission with my original pull type clutch bell housing instead of the series one. Maybe nissan of america has the wrong part number, but either way, the bushing was much too large.
I dremeled it with a grinding stone a bit at a time, test fitting as I went as to not undersize it. I gave it a slight taper to also ease the alignment and force the upper snug when it dropped in.
There are 3 metal snap rings used to lock the shifter into the transmission. One of the pair without tool loops at its end simply falls into place above the plastic ring around the shifter. Next the ring with the tool loops goes on, followed last by the third snap ring, which pushes into the notched ring in the transmission shifter hole.
I didn't test fit which ring should go first, and after inserting one into the groove, realized that the other would just rest on top of the whole assembly, doing nothing. Pull out the snap ring with a flat head screwdriver in one of the notches at the side of the shifter housing by rotating the flat head to bring the ring out of the notch and prying to bring it up.
Start again.
I installed the inner rubber transmission boot over the shifter itself, but I had to cut slits in the upper and lower edges in order to first get it over the width of the shifter, and second over the width of the transmission shifter outer housing. Yes, I pulled off the knob before doing this, and re-installed afterwards. I used zipties to secure it.
