My trans moved?
Ok so I was looking threw the 3rd gen specific 93-2002 and I happened to run into this trend https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/pic-how-much-oil-shifter-739429/ . So I decided to check out how much oil was in my shifter since a while ago I change my stock shifter and remembered that I dint see much oil in the shifter when I changed over to my BNM short shifter. So I took the center plastics off and notice that my trans has shifted over some mmm and remembered that that’s not how it was before. So it had to happened at A-sped after my Mazda reman engine install that A-spec did for me. So now I can even get into one of the bolts because it moved over some and now is tucked under the trans tunnel.
So my question is what caused this and is there anything I can do to get it back into place? The pics at the bottom are one of my pics of how much my trans moved over and the other is one of the forum member’s pic and this is how it should look.

Looks like the when they put they motor back in they didn't get the power plant frame (PPF) aligned correctly before they bolted it to the transmission and rear differential. Your transmission appears to sitting a little too far forward in addition to being off center.

I do have experience working on piston engines I have pulled engines out and put bigger engines in and even rebuilt a couple and as for rotary’s I done so many thing to mine installing and removing but just never pulled the engine out Ivied pulled the trans out but just never done the engine. As for taking it back to A-spec I don’t know if they will believe me that that’s there work since ivied done so many thing to it since they had it last and its been like a year and a half and yes they did do a lot of crappie work when they did the install forgot to put things back where they wore and engine ran pretty bad but I token care of many of the bad really bad areas they left behind and since I didn’t know much about rotary’s they definitely took advantage and charge me for new parts when they actually used my old parts and as time passed Ivied notice and also I don’t know if they just decided to steal some of my pars or just forgot to install back in that ivied also notice over time are missing.

oh damn that sounds pretty bad. were you rushing them or something? and my bad about saying u might not have experience.
just look under the car and see if the motor mounts are seated in correctly. they are left and right on the oil pan make sure that the aluminum bracket sits around the outside of the mount and thats it.

Cool guys I will inspect the PPF and engine mounts this weekend and I will let you guys know. Thanks for the help
Guess what guys A-spec read my post and I think we might get this resolved they contacted me and hopefully they can also install all the parts that I ended un missing after they worked on it? I will keep you guys updated.
