4 speed slipping out of second gear

When adjusting the linkage can’t seem to get the 1&2 gear linkage out past the reverse linkage ! Any ideas ? Or is it just me.


Adjust it on the transmission end. I have sausage fingers so I know I can’t get the shifter end off. It’s too tight. So I just take the end off the gear box and do it.

Also, before I put the transmission back in I mount the shifter and adjust the linkage there and it’s pretty close when it goes in. It makes the adjustment in the car that much easier.
