Well I tried adjusting again.
I ether get forward and neutral or reverse and neutral
The hole in the exhaust housing where # 29 (bracket and shift lever) goes through seems fairly tight.
I redid Daves test
I detached the brass connector that connects the upper and lower shift rod.
With brass connector off the upper shift rod.
I held the upper shift rod with a pair of needle nose pliers and moved the shift handle back and forth. There is quite a bit of play.
So at this point-I am thinking the problem is # 24 (lever)
