4 Speed 2nd Gear Question ?

You know peracar I think this seems like more of my problem. It doesn't feel as if the lever is going the full throw and thus not allowing the the detent ball to seat or go in its place. But I don't know what you mean by the comb hitting. What is the comb? Also what do you mean by lay back the groove? Do you mean enlarge or inlongate the hole? Thanks.
