Fleetwin, thanks for responding. You were exactly right. As I was checking the linkage for what seemed like a hundred times, I noticed that someone before me had beveled out a notch higher up on the upper shift rod than the original bevel. I didn’t notice it before since it was only on one side of the shift rod. Evidently someone had a problem before and made the shift rod shorter ie. made the bevel higher on the rod. I installed the bolt in the connector at the higher bevel and it works fine. To bad I didn’t find the problem until I had already taken the gearcase apart. I always say to check the simplest things first, but I didn’t take my own advise. thanks again.
