First picture.
If this is showing the reverse rod, this rod is not bolted to the reverse shifter leaver, but rather the 3-4 leaver.
Reverse shifter leaver is the longer one in the background...
First picture is just showing the alignment of the levers with the index hole. Second, that swivel won’t go in like that in reverse anyway. It won’t let you do it. Two different hole sizes. Thanks.
