Reverse shift problem

This post to put a close to the opening question.

It's done! Put the shifter in last night. Shifts to reverse fully move the 833 operating lever as God intended it to be.

Many thanks to Brewer's, to Wayne for his time and information.

As mopardude62 said to start with, it was the stop bolt. As Wayne said, 'Take it out!'..and now it shifts to reverse fine.

I did put new stop bolts in front and back, but they are adjusted only to just touch the handle at its full extension. Not necessary I s'pose..but I feel better about it.

I put it back together with a new clip/washer kit from Brewer's. I've been using my own mess-'o-bits of washers, circlips, pins for way too long. Ha! I had a spirolock clip on one rod.

The OEM spring clips do a MUCH better job. :)

If you haven't had your shifter apart in way too long (or ever!), do yourself a favor: Take the thing apart and CLEAN it up! Chances are excellent that the improvement will make you happy!

I've always had to waggle the handle to get it into the reverse lever, no adjustment/alignment helped or resolved it.

Now? My shifter has never worked so smoothly!!

Thanks to all for the pointers and ideas!
