I dunno man. Bluestreak's explanation sounds pretty dead-on with your symptoms. You can wish all you want that it's just a linkage problem, but the linkage never got touched during either install, right?

But you did in fact miss-install a clutch, and ended up with a flapping shifter and inability to get into 4th gear, just like blue did. I think you're going to be replacing that rear main shaft plate... and you should probably do it before you drive the car any further.
