    Also, check tha someone hasn’t messed with the adjustment of the shift handle to the shift shaft. There are two bolts involved, one in line with the shaft tha bolts them together, and one perpendicular to the shaft that gives a friction fit. Adjust so that the handle is fully engaged in forward, so you can feel it hitting the face of th gear when you shift by hand. Trial and error involved.
