How to adjust shift linkage, shift Options

[capitolatim]

I can not get my shifter properly adjusted, it's a side shift. sloppy intp 1st gear and absolutely can not get into fourth.

I've read several posts but can't make it work.

It was working fine before I did an engine rebuild.

Any videos, etc?

If side shift, remove black plastic oval cover at tranny. Find neutral position at tranny, then place into third gear with linkage at the tranny - i. e. short gear arm at tranny is half way out of the tranny and pushed forward into 3rd gear. Have someone hold the linkage at the tranny in third with the linkage shaft held with anti clockwise torque against the gate looking forward. Now loosen the bolt at the shift lever in the tunnel and hold the lever firmly toward the driver side against the gate but not compressing the springs into the first and reverse gate. with the lever in your preferred forward/back position tighten the bolt firmly. Done!
