RE: [DML] MANUAL SHIFTING PROBLEMS (5spd)

I assume that you were able to shift gears easily at one time.

So what has happened to the car since you were able to shift easily and now
that you can not shift easily?

Lets identify the root cause before we try to make it work correctly once
again.

Just wondering if someone can actually answer my post about my trouble
shifting and a correct adjustment? Is there only one cable to adjust the
shifting pattern(two nuts on it) or is there something else I should be
looking for? I can't get it into all the gears smoothly especially reverse
and fifth. Again It's either 2nd, 3th, 4th, 5th but no 1st or reverse or
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and reverse but no 5th, there seems to be no middle
ground with consistency emphasis CONSISTENCY. It's either to far right or
to far to the left, to me. Right now the shifter in Neutral is in the
middle it does not go into REVERSE(only 30% of time) and yes I am lifting up
and to the left on it and fifth is not smooth.  
 
Contrary to belief, almost all the post I've seen so far have been on how to
shift--I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT! After all I've had my Delorean over 4 years
now lets hope i've been doing it right. But it is good for people to know
who may be unfamiliar with Deloreans, so I can understand that, however, I
was just wondering if anybody has had experience with a similar problem?????
