Yes. With the transmission shift arms in neutral, and the shifter locked in neutral by your 1/4 inch bit, your shift rods, when adjusted correctly, should now give you the correct throw. There should be a noticeable neutral spot for the transmission shift arms. Also engage them to be sure they go into each gear, without the shift rods. That way you know the trans will go into each gear and back to the neutral position. Check reverse also.
