The idea is that you loosen (don't remove) the clamp nut, then put the shift lever into a particular position, then move the front shift rod into the appropriate position to match the gear shift lever's.

At least, that's what the factory procedure has you do. Put the transmission in neutral, first. Loosen the clamp nut. Put a pair of vise-grips on the front shift rod--clamp them on through that hole at the back of the center tunnel, so you're not getting in your own way. Then put the gear shift lever all the way to the right, and make sure the part below the bend is straight up from a fore-and-aft perspective. Then crank the rod all the way to the right, and tighten the bolt. Try the shift pattern, and futz with the exact position of the gear shift lever versus the front shift rod until you get things set up the way you like them.

no need to rotate the rod itself. leave everything connected and bolted down, simply losen the nut on the clamp right at the shifter (13mm socket) while in neutrual. you'll have to hold the shift lever when losening the bolt, otherwise it'll slip.

then move the shift lever left or right just a bit, depending on what gears are missing and clamp back down.
do the same forward/backwards if needed.

repeat until all gears engage!
