After I put the shaft back on, fourth and fifth gear require pressing against the spring. The 'neutral position' (no spring force) is the middle gears - Second and third.

Confused since the coupler has a set screw for positioning as dies the back end with the ball cup. I did not touch anything inside the car. (Just coupler bushings, rear bushing that the rod goes through at the side shifter, and the ball cup.)

Can I buy a clue?! Thanks in advance.

I have discovered that very small rotation adjustments with the linkage make a big difference and new bushings can cause this. Try this which worked for me from a fellow 914W Jim Hoyland. Start by loosening the pinch bolt on the shifter bushing under the shift handle. With vice grips secure the shift rods under the engine rotated (clockwise lookin forward) fimly in the 4th gear position. Return to th cabin and secure the shift lever over towards the passenger side with a bunjy cord. Place the shift lever in your preferred forward/back position for 4th gear. Tighten the pinch bolt. Hopefully "walla".
