I just looked in my chiltons manual and there is no difference in the adjusting process from reading it, just some of the parts used - shifter lever.

Oh and theres a chance you busted up a fork.

if i busted a fork would i still be able to go into 1st 3rd and 5th without any problems

Does the car go into all gears while the engine is running vs. not running? If it goes into all gears while the engine is not running, but won't go into 2nd 4th and reverse while running, its not a linkage problem. It is a clutch problem. If its a clutch problem, then most likely you need to just bleed the hydraulic clutch system. Also, a busted fork would prohibit you from going into any gear while the engine is running.

i can get into 1st 3rd 5th when the car is running but when its off I can get in all but reverse.





edit: thanks guys for the help it ended up being the little horse shoe clip that holds the cables in the brackets on the tranny
