Shift issues
Hello everyone, I need to pick your brains. I have read a few of the threads regarding poor/no shift selection and have done all the basics, new shift
rod bushing, welding up the cage and fitting a bolt to take the slop out of the coupling. The shifter itself has been adjusted in every way with no
effect.
The drama is on downshifting I cant get 1st or 2nd without going onto the reverse lockout. Sometimes hitting reverse while trying to get 2nd. If I
just push the shifter across to the lockout I can only get 3rd and 4th. But if I want reverse then it is exactly where its supposed to be. Tried
moving the shifter to the left and the right with no success.
I have the standard shifter with a quick shift kit.
Thanks for any ideas

I had similar issues when I installed a Scat shifter - I had to move it further to the right, so I elongated the holes in the shifter base further to
the left so I could move the shifter further to the right.
I am no expert, but I am guessing that you may have to do a similar thing with the quickshifter.
Another thought, try it without the quickshifter and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then the quickshifter is the problem.
From your ole' mate Jeff

The reverse lock out plate between the shifter and chassis tunnel could be positioned 180 degrees out.
IE: the reverse lock is on the other side.

This pic shows correct orientation, regardless of left or right hand drive.

It's the relationship of the shifter pivot to the lockout plate. In the case you've described the lockout plate needs to go right or the shifter
base left. A good basic check is to look under the back seat and remove the inspection plate, when in the 1st / 2nd plane, the coupling sits
relatively flat or the grub screw verticle, if it isn't, the crimp has slipped and the rotational alignment is out.

Went out and double checked the plate, its mounted correctly. I think my issue is the OEM quality coupler is sloppy as, a few weeks ago I removed it
and pulled out the dodgy bush looking setup and put a bolt through it. seems the bolt is better but now the rubber blocks are moving around a fair
bit. Would it be damaging if the coupler was made solid?

Mine is solid as it is part of a kombi gearbox swap in the baja.
Still goes fine but you'll be suprised how much noise then gets transferred into the chassis and thus into the cabin. The gearbox vibrations just
drum through the shift rod in the tunnel. I'd rather it be a soft coupling style for comfort sake personally, but up to you.

Makes sense, will have to try and stiffen up the rubber jobbie a bit and see how it goes
