Seems as if I have something out of alignment, because 2nd and 3rd are easy to get, but 1st and reverse are hard to find. It just seems like I can't pull the shifter back towards me to find 1st. I did some adjusting on the rods from the trans, up and down, but only helped with 2nd and 3rd alittle. Does anyone have any other things to try? Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 136 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 136 | No one has any ideas for me? I can't imagine that I am the only one that has ever had this problem. Of course, that is my luck with the things on this truck though. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You should adjust the rods so that you can pull forward & back in neutral without without catching. You may have it mounted too close or too far back from the shift lever. There is a little room for adjustment in the coupler that mounts the shafts together. It's all a matter of getting the correct adjustments. Carters has a good tech. adviser if you can't get it right.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
