I loosend the selector rod at the connector to the transmission in order to adjust everything so that the backup (reverse) lights would work. Before doing the adjustment I was able to find/engage all 5 gears. I followed the procedure that others recommended...used the phillips screwdriver in the little hole and positioned the selector rod using the screwdriver positioned in the "guide" on the back side of the tranny...I put the gearshift firmly in 3rd and I then tightend the nut at the connector. Now everything works (even the backup lights) however, I cannot engage 5th...Before I tightend the nut, I could position the gearshift properly in each gear ....Did gearshift probably move as I tighted the nut? Also, when I engage "reverse" is the gearshift supposed to move as far to the right as 5th (before the gearshift moves rearward...) or is the gearshift supposed to further to the right than the gearshift moves when 5th is properly engaged? What am I not doing correctly? Everything else seems to have worked fine as acceleration and seemingly the linkage between the transmission have become smoother...Any advice will be appreciated.
