You need to bend the selector rod or get a shorter one. The M50 swap sits about 1-2" further back and that changes the position of the shift lever. Mine has about a 20 degree bend.

Came in here to post this. Bend it with a workshop clampvice. Bend it back some and it should sit right in the middle
