Trouble with 4 speed shifter

Put trans in neutral, remove the rod clips at the transmission drop rods out of way. install pin in neutral make sure the pin bottoms out on the shifter plate. make sure trans levers are in neutral detent by hand. Re-install rods adjust them by turning on the swivels in or out as needed there should be no slop and go right into the holes. install washers and clips. make sure linkage doesn't have excessive play if it does something else may be worn levers etc...
