If you put the b&m and the problem is not with the shifter then you're not going to be able to get into 1st, 2nd or 3rd with the SS

First, I would go ahead and get under the car, remove the cat, and see if anything looks out of place/broken. The shifter sits right above the cat IIRC. Thats about all I can think of at the moment.
