I had to replace the shifter ball on my 4-speed manual transmission in my
1991 GL.  Now I can't get into reverse.  I push down and over, and it goes
into first.  I'm following the Bentley procedure to align the shifter.  I am
missing a plastic tab on the front shift rod, but didn't think that would be
that big of an issue.  Anyone else run into this?  Any ideas or guidance?

I have to say, trying to get the shifter lined up has been one of the most
frustrating jobs I've done on my Vanagon.
