Gentlemen, I found this thread in pure desperation. I'm having issues with my shifter linkage. It ocurred after I pulled out my engine for a rebuild. I'm able to find all gears, but 1st and 2nd gear are on the "wrong side" of the reverse lockout. This means that I have to push the shifter down and left to find 1st and 2nd. 3rd and 4th is where 1st and 2nd is supposed to be. I've spent hours trying to adjust both inside the car and under the hood without luck. I'm concidering to pull out the shifter tower, clean it, inspect the parts and lubricate before I put it back with my fingers crossed. No C-clips are missing, and the linkage wires were replaced some years ago. If I don't have any luck with the shifter tower, the next step will be to get the car on jack stands and pull down the shifter stick assembly and clean/inspect it. Any suggestions or clues?
