RE: [DML] Just changed to SS Clutch line, better, but REVERSE and 1st gear STILL won't go!



Trans shift cable and bell cramk adjustment is critical and very sensitive. A turn of only 1 flat on the cable adj nuts will have a large impact on shift accuracy. Also check the service manual on shift lever adjustment relative to the shift gate. The shifter should be self centering in the 3rd/4th shift gate. Also, bad trans and engine mounts can make a difference in accuracy that changes as you drive or corner hard.
