I know this has bee discussed numerious times, and have searched old threads back to 2003. Removed shift linkage last year on '76 with side shifter after having the motor out. R & R all bushings, and reinstalled linkage. Could not find all my gears, and thats when I started to do thread search. Used members i.e. redbeard?? and even the Haynes manual. Do it one way, find forward gears. Another way, my back gears....no certain way gets me all my gears! Have rechecked my linkage, and cone screws flush with rods. Took out shifter, no cracks, spring and bushing look good. Why is there more than one way to do alignment??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It sounds like you have fore-aft slop somewhere in your linkage.

Did you change bushings in the aluminum shift coupling at the firewall? You mention that your cone screws are all the way in, so that sounds ok, but if you use the 911 version of the shift coupler bushings (they have an oblong slot instead of a round hole), there may still be fore-aft slop in your linkage. Either of the bushings "fit", but only the 914 parts work.

You could have your helper move the shifter fore and aft while holding the rear shift rod to see if there is any slop at all. You need to eliminate all the slop for it to work as designed.

Good luck to you.
