Tranny linkage adjustment

Now i put a drill bit thru the shifter to hold everything in neutral, once i do that do i still need to out each lever in neutral? I thought being in neutral...they were in neutral. I know its a stupid question to ask, but I dont know

1. Remove the rods from the trans levers or shifter (One or the other.)
2. Pin the shifter
3. Make sure all trans levers are notched into neutral
4. Adjust each rod so it easily goes into the center of it's corresponding hole.
5. Install the rod retainers.
6. Remove the pin.

Your shifter is now adjusted to the transmission.
