Shifter adjustment is really to line up the 1-2 hate with the reverse stop plate. All other gear positons are determioned by the tranny. If 4th gear is the only issue, you most liely have a cracked slider hub and will need to address it. If 1st and 2nd easy easy to get into, then things are adjusted OK. Dennis
