4spd hard to go from reverse to Neutral

So, you've tried shifting the gears with the tabs at the trans, but what about moving the shifter box with the rods disconnected? is it smooth as well?
What about the angle of attack? The reverse rod on my trans is at a strange angle to the tab on the trans, might be that there isn't enough leverage due to a bent rod, like it's going beyond apex or something...kinda hard to explain

I understand what you are saying and the mechanism shifts smooth also. I believe that the reverse lockout in the mechanism is just wore out. All my rods look like from the factory with no weird angles or anything.

I am looking into a different shifter mechanism like the Hurst Comp but you need to use bushings with it or replace all the rods and tabs. The whole set up is around 449.00 plus 79.00 for a new handle that bolts to it since mine is a push in. Then you may as well get the new Q Ball for another 29.00. So around $550.00 for the whole set up at Brewers. I guess I could just get the Mechanism and use the bushings and Drill out my Shifter Handle so it bolts up.............Tossing the whole thing around and I will pull the trigger in the next week or so.
