a whole bundle of questions hopefully sumerized

I believe all this was explained in your other thread, if not, each gear selector lever needs to be in the nutral position. say you have 10,12,2 oclock you want 12. and reverse disengaged. toward front of car I believe, if not I`ll surley be flamed. and with your screwdriver in adjust each rod to fall freely in hole. I`m assuming you know which shifter lever goes to which selector lever right? detent balls are inside side cover and usually fall out if trannys laying on side when removing cover. hopefully helpful.
