Re: gear change

Paul - The adjustment that you are referring to is very effective at 
shifting the entire pattern over. After I changed my clutch last 
year, (which required removal of all of the shifting linkage), I found 
that I had no reverse. The pattern had been shifted over when I 
reinstalled everything without doing any fine adjustments. I read the 
manual, and performed the adjustment. It allowed me to "fine-tune" 
the exact location of the pattern. Bottom line - go for it.

this simple adjustment, will move the entire shift pattern towards the 
passenger. Is that all I need to do, as there seems to be plenty of 
space over that side??
