Yup..i guess I should have read up a bit but I really hated the hugo shifter..lesson learned...
MR2 Technical Knowledgebase - MK1/MK2 OEM & short shifter comparisons Image 5 is what I have. It works but Im guessin the drop plate is why I had trouble with 2nd and reverse..after a while I just figured out where I had to put my hand

my wife has small hands and didnt have any issues..
