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?
