    OK, well then there must be a linkage or adjustment problem….Follow CW’s advice. I’m thinking there is some slop/lost motion in the linkage somewhere causing this dramatic problem….Try removing the shift rod connector cover, and the vertical interlock lever….Then, hold the shift rod as tight as you can with long needle nose while someone gently rocks the shift lever back in forth to check for dramatic slop/lost motion….
