I know this has bee discussed numerious times, and have searched old threads back to 2003. Removed shift linkage last year on '76 with side shifter after having the motor out. R & R all bushings, and reinstalled linkage. Could not find all my gears, and thats when I started to do thread search. Used members i.e. redbeard?? and even the Haynes manual. Do it one way, find forward gears. Another way, my back gears....no certain way gets me all my gears! Have rechecked my linkage, and cone screws flush with rods. Took out shifter, no cracks, spring and bushing look good. Why is there more than one way to do alignment??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I think you answered your own question. When the shift bar bends it gets very hard to get yours gears. Inspect it and straighten it as needed. I have not seen bars compromised twisting, but more than once bent.
Also with the eventual setting, I start with the return spring slop amount of play to approximate vertical, and move horizontal adjustment from there. Lastly, inspect your shifter to make sure the springs and clips are in order. |

Lastly, inspect your shifter to make sure the springs and clips are in order. Side shifter bars are bent. If they are clocked incorrectly to the center tunnel rod, they will hit the tin. This is a symptom of the outside rod and inside rod not being adjusted correctly. |
