Re: Shifting problem

[garbadee@xxxx]

OK, I adjusted the linkage as outlined in the shop manual. This 
allowed me to get back into 5th fine. Now I can't get it into 
reverse. It appears from looking at the gate that the pin in the 
shifting arm is too low to allow it to "lift" up enough. This of 
course means I can't get into the ledge of the gate which would allow 
shifting into reverse. As a matter of fact I can not see any 
movement up when lifting on the shifter (thus no reverse).

Any idea what to do next?
