Tranny linkage adjustment

So I did as instructed to remove the linkages from the shifter and find neutral in between 1-2 & 3-4 and then pushes the reverse tab on the tranny forward for neutral and adjusted to where all the linkages just move freely in the shifter mechinism and tranny tabs and tighten the tab nuts up and secured all the linkages with my hardware, checked the throw of the shifter.
It felt so weird from where its supposed to be to where it was. I took it for a quick run and its a a completely different car!!! It actually runs like a striped ape!!!!!!!
Thanks again for all the great info on how to do this properly.

Basically my 1-2 was Adjusted too short and it over threw into 1st and not enough into 2nd.
I took pics but photofucket is being stupid
