Hi Tony.

First of all, the US spec. transmision is not similar to the EU spec.
The final ratio on US is 3,54. The EU is 3,7.
A US transm. has a center differential with clutch system that can
distribute 90/10 % front rear to 50/50 f.r. % torque, but on the cars sold in EU there is a twin planetary gear in the center diff
wich gives basic 36/64 % force front rear, and the LSD clutch can
increase or reduce the distribution to front and rear.
Of that reason the extension case of the trans is probably different.
A transmision for Europe has the speed sensor 1 at rear end of the tranny with acess from outside. Speed sensor 2 is inside the extension case.
The speed sensor 1 give the signal for the speedometer and the wire is white. It is in connector B14, a 16 pole on the top of the converter case. On the female side with clip on top it is lower right
side (seen from inside).

About the shift lever mechanisme.
Disconnect the wire on the trans. check if you can move the lever to all seven positions. Rear pos. is P and front is 1 and with ignition on you shuld also have the indication lamp on the instrument with light. If it so the tranny sems to be ok.

The next problem must be an adjustment of the wire.

Has the car Europe specification ?
