So I have a 1/1/72 1.7L with a slightly sloppy shift (what's new) so I ordered some bushes and dismantled the shift only to find somebody had beaten me to it and it was fine. BUT putting it back with the right alignment is proving difficult, I can get some gears but not others, is there a tip on putting these things back with the correct alignment? Why did I touch it? I note in the Haynes manual I appear to have the later shift, the one with 2 springs which seems odd. Any tips gratefully received.

Side, shift linkage enters on the driver side of the trans case. Tail, linkage operates a rod that enters the bottom of the back end of the trans. Photo Post #3. Entire linkage is dif for the SS. As is the dr side warm air guide. See if you can source a Haynes manual. The SS linkage uses 2 set screws. They are typically considered a one time use item. Beware when they back out on their own, near impossible to shift.
