Transmission Shiter Hitting not Lining up Right

[Redsupra13]

I have an 89 toyota supra with the old square style mounts. I have the pre 89 swap brackets. The problem is that the transmission shifter control retainer is right up against the shifter hole. It actually bent the metal. Has anyone else had this problem???? i have searched on here and other forums. From my understanding the 1jz bellhousing is about an inch shorter than the 7m bellhosuing. That is the only thing i can think is causing this issue. Any information with be grateful. Even pointing me to the answer. Thanks in advance.

maybe you put the swap mounts on the wrong sides?

Is your car an auto before the manual swap ?

I believe the auto has a smaller opening for the shifter to come thru. My Supra was auto, now R154, and barely made it thru the hole without hitting the back.. the rubber boot wouldn't fit without cutting though because of how close of a clearance it was.

Thank you for the information. Mine is hitting the front of the opening.(side closest to the dash.) I just dont want to cut the chassis.
