Glad to hear that you've got the right manual.  ;-)

Depending on your year, find the right photo and look at it carefully. Note 
especially the orientation of the diamond shaped plate that goes under the 
plate that has the lever pivot. There are 4 different ways that this plate can 
be installed, but only one of those is correct. Look at the little protrusions 
next to the center hole and then compare them with the photos and the text.

One thing I want to mention is that the type 3 coupler is different from a 
bug's. If you put in a bug coupler then your shift rod will be upside down, and 
when you look down at your shift rod you won't see a cup for the ball on the 
bottom of the shift lever to fit into.

When you look down there do you see that cup for the ball?
