I ream the bores to .625 then press in oil lite bushings then ream in line. I also bore the shift eye and machine a
bushing to restore the bore for the small ball at bottom of stick. Also install a 1 x .500 x.250 grease seal in the front
opening to exclude water and grit. I need to order drill rod and make some new shift rods. Steve (CTR)
Yes there are two different length rod assemblies.

My money is on the reverse gear bush working its way out of the gear and jamming the selectors - I've had this on a Metro and seen the results in several gearboxes.
All the mucking about with the linkage won't help if it is, it's right in the bottom of the gearbox.

Are you in the USA?
Steve Gibbs - Coopertune Offers Rebushing of the Shift housings refurbishing the assemblies to bring them back to spec
Also check how tight the new yolk fits on the end of the new Short shifter. If its too tight it wont want to freely Rotate.

I guess there is something missing in the housing ? A metall bush or something? Only dirt and som rubber was left!

With wear the the housing shafts that the yolk connect to can be too loose.
This looseness wont let the shifter push enough to give the 'twist of the yolk for the 2-3 twist needed
Can you retry your original shift rod (removing the quick change for testing purposes too .. new tight Quickshift into a worn assembly wont work = Been there done that.
Also - Are you sure the roll pins on all ends ( shift housing end and Transmission end are all very tight ) no slop there either.

Hey So, i have been having so trouble with my gear linkage.(rod change) When i bought the car it was difficult to shift from 2 to 3 and really sloppy. This month i took the engine out(to fix some other issues) and i figured i would fix the gear issue.
I changed the Yoke in the gear housing and bought a KAD quick shifter...I had to cut the steady rod that fits the linkage to the diff due to a bad bolt and bought a new one. Could not find the old steady rod in stock anywhere, so i got the new one that is 1/2 inch longer. Cut it and got a proffesional to weld it back to normal length.(same angles as before) But the car only goes in 1, neutral and 2. I cannot "rotate" to go in 3, 4 and reverse. Tried taking of the plate att the bottom of the housing but no difference. The car is a 1971 model, with a 1275 A+ engine. So it has the conversion bracket. Is it possible i mounted it wrong. I fix a oil leak at the diff, so i had to move the shifter on the diff? Could this be an issue? Is it possible to attach to shift rod in the wrong way?
Any tips, please dont hesitate
Regards from Norway!
