Jeep slips out of 1st...

After installing my RE 4" Standard kit, my Jeep has trouble staying in first gear. The only way it will stay in 1st is if i hold the shifter in place. Anyone know anything?

Similar thing happened to me with reverse gear after lift install.

I used my Dremel to cut the sheet metal back a hair where the shifter hit, repositioned the shift boots, and made new holes for the boot mounting screws. Can actually use reverse without holding the stick back now!
