shift speeds/rpm

thanks no offense taken at all. (had a Porsche 944 and that was like one finger on the shift knob though 5 gears). From your descriptions sounds like the latter - a possible linkage issue - not wanting to move over to the right at all coming up from 2nd- like hitting a wall. we'll see how it acts and what we might be able to adjust. thanks for your input

Most shifters have a centering hole through the levers that the linkage rods connect to.
That's probably all it is.
Note where it says 1/4 inch Dia rod.
You put the 1/4 Dia rod through all the levers and then adjust each linkage rod so that each lever on the trans is centered with no bind.
