I could use some help! I have a M-20 with new shifter. The transmission would shift into all gears than I brokr the motor/cam in for 20 min. and now I can only get it to go into 2nd and 4th! It will not even try to go into 1st or 3rd unless I disconnect the shifter than I can use a wrench and will than hit all gears. I have usd a alignment pin to ajust the shifter and before I ran the engine for the 20 min it would get all gears. What do you think? Thanks for your help!

Sounds like your shift rods still need adjustment. I never used a pin for final adjustment, just played with it until everything felt right & worked. Sometimes just a single thread turn will make a differance. Having someone else shift while you're adjusting sure helps.

I think a 1/4" drill bit will fit in the hole to help you adjust the linkage.

Make sure the pin goes through all the levers AND into the shifter housing....then align the rods.
