Sorry, I left that out:  75 TR6

Yeah, that's what makes me think this is normal.  I just wanted a data 
point to compare it.  Given a stock setup with new components, the 
pushrod should move a certain amount...

So far, I'm not sure there's a problem.  Drove 10 miles or so, and only 
missed one downshift.  Could have been me, I suppose.  The car shifts 
fine, otherwise.  It's just that, with the trans tunnel off, I can see 
that the lever doesn't move a whole lot.

Of course, when you think about it, the brakes really don't move a whole 
lot either, and they manage to get the job done.  So maybe I'm thinking 
too much.  That's happened before...
