904 starts in Reverse after re-install.
Maybe not a simple linkage adjustment. Bear with me. Had my working 904 on my LA and swapped to my fresh Magnum. While it was out I replaced both shifter shaft seals. I did the seal swap from the top of the trans and the shaft did drop down into the trans and I was able to get it back up with a magnet. I noticed that I could retrieve it at different detents but I got it back to the correct notch position (see pic) and it looks same position as the service manual.
I go to fire the mill and the car will only start in Reverse. I get through break-in (sounds great) and now I figure it's a linkage adjustment issue. loosen linkage, Slap Stik in park, trans lever all the way rearward, retighten. Now it only starts in Neutral. Still sounds like a linkage issue but what am I missing? Is it possible the shaft is at the wrong detent? The flat on the arm and arm position look good to me. Thoughts?
Thank you.
