I'm guessing side to side adjustment in your shift linkage...
its underneath the shifter, yours is not allowing the shifter plane to adjust over far enough... I think there is a tech article somewhere... brant |

That happened to me. Check that all the set screws on the shift linkage joints are tight (shift knukle at firewall and the at the transmission end of the linkage. Mine backed out about 1 turn, lost 4th & 5th. I locktited them back in with locktite blue. No problems since then.
