What I know about air-cooled '54 Merc transmissions you could fit in a thimble and still have room for an elephant.
But, is there a remote chance the shift lever on the outside of the trans was installed 180 out of position and now points downward instead of upward? I don't have any transmission books or images to show what the normal position of the levers on a full-sized car transmission should be.
The only example I have is an air-cooled '55 Fordomatic with a floor shift... and the shift lever on the transmission points upwards and operates approx between the 10 and 1 clock positions.

I'll go away now, be quiet for a while and quit confusing things.
