Early A833 4 speed linkage adjustment help

You should be good. Your reverse rod looks OK. On those shifters, you use the lower tabs on the housing inside and outside and the outside of the tabs on the 3 levers to index neutral. The 1/4 in holes in the 1st and 2nd lever and the 3rd and 4th lever are not the index features. They can not align with the rear 1/4 in hole in the housing. That is why the factory tool indexes the outside 1.255 step on all three levers with the 1.255 tabs on the housing. See the first four pictures in post #19 above.

66fs: you wrote "The 1/4 in holes in the 1st and 2nd lever and the 3rd and 4th lever are not the index features. They can not align with the rear 1/4 in hole in the housing" I don't quite understand why you state that. When the 1/4" drill is inserted into the 1-2,3-4 shifter levers, to the hole in back, (R lever pulled back out of the way) the levers DO align properly with the reference tabs, I just did this on mine to confirm. Why do you say that the hole is not a valid index reference?
