[DeTomaso] SHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT / Dick Ruzzin

[Dickruzzindesign at aol.com]

Reverse in my car was getting hard to get to so I decided to adjust the shift 
linkage.
I said last time that I NEVER wanted to do it again.

I can put the transmission into reverse manually at the shifter box and have 
been putting the lever into the corresponding slot with the linkage loose. 
That is, all together but not tightened down.

I got it once but it was not quite right as I sometimes got first in the 
reverse slot instead of reverse, sometimes.

There is nothing in the ZF manual about linkage adjustment or the proper 
process to do it.

Has anyone had any positive experience in doing this, any hints or clues?

I think the key question is, where do you put the lever when tightening the 
lock nut?

Thanks,

 All the best,
