Need some shifter help...........

[manhertm]

Ok so I purchased an Ebay short shifter a while back. The install went fine ,but after a day or two I didn't like the feel of it, so I swapped it back out for the stock shifter. I follow A4Mods instructions, but I forgot to mark the spots where the hex bolts were originally. Since then I haven't been able get it back to the factory position and my reverse is hard to engage. I tried searching for a good postion ,but I usually lose my reverse or the 5th gear. Can someone take some pics of their shifter bolts so I can get a reference to line my shifter up again. I took some pics of what my bolts look like Thanks in advance.


I'm pretty sure the sliders don't matter because it just relocates the shifter up or down, but I circled them anyway.

You have to adjust the two bolts independently in increments, then lightly tighten them, and finally test to see if all the gears engage. Repeat until they all do.
Good luck, bottom bolt is a bitch.

Do you know what bolt adjusts what? All my gears feel fine and I can get it into reverse, but I really have to move it around and search for it.

No, I'm not entirely sure. But i think the top is the leverage point and the bottom is the actual linkage.
