I purchased a 01-03 SOHC hydraulic 3.94 for my ATX to MTX conversion.
During a visual inspection of the transmission, something popped out to me. On the longer of the two shift arms, there seems to be some sort of a counter weight, on the opposite end of the pivot point. I tried to test fit the drivers side motor mount bracket, and the "weight" seems to be in the way.
Also, the longer of the two arms seems to be shorter, then a stock 2gnt transmission. I don't mind it being shorter, as this will shorten the throws.

My transmission:
Please excuse the dirt. I have yet to clean it.
Now, Can I just remove the counter weight by cutting it off to make room for the MM bracket? I do not have stock shifter arms to replace.
