Subject:      shift linkage concept question

Hi All,

rebuilt 4spd tranny in, trouble shifting into 2,4 without having done more than unbolt and rebuilt linkage at trannyand replacing the ball-joint on the relay lever (and grease the socket)... found bucket loads of advice to try, since Bentley pics pretty murky, altho I haven't read an explanation of what the Bentley's 19/22mm "adjust shift rod end" yet, mostly just "loosen linkage at the band clamp and twist the shafts slightly"... any greater explanation of that would be great, but my real question is...

Can someone explain how a slight twist of the linkage might/will bring these gears back into proper shifting range?

I can't seem to wrap my brain around how that would make such a difference, which probably mean I am making it more difficult than it is (or I'm lacking in coffee intake, or just plain ole dumb as rocks!). When I shift into 2,4 it "feels" like the linkage isn't pulling the tranny lever far enough foward; but clearly the linkage is as far forward as possible (at the tranny clamp/linkage support plate) altho I can't be certain the lever/shift rod on the tranny is with the linkage attached.

Thanks! mike 84
