4spd hard to go from reverse to Neutral

Just play with the rod adjustments One turn at a time to find medium where it works best, mines sticky to.
Another thing is if the tabs fit loose ,you may have to weld up the key holes a lil and file fit them so they don't slip and misalign the rod adjustment.

check to see if tabs are on correct and are not binding against the cover too=kinda out there but hey ya never know.
