Will it "eventually" go into 1st?
Does it feel like it does not go far enough into 1st when shifting?
Does that shifter have stop adjustments?
I think I'd get under there and try setting neutral again.
Maybe have someone run it slowly through the 1-2 shift while you watch it and see/feel if the shifter is dragging another lever for some reason.
I would think .060" is plenty departure unless the disc has a fat spot or the plate is grabbing early on a section.
