I just got ANOTHER DSM, which I wasn't aware of the many problems that came with it. I can't shift into 5th or reverse.

I've searched for adjustments but can only find adjustments for the cables that have an adjustment each. Mine only has one adjustment. The car started as a 94 Eclipse n/a 1.8 and was swapped to a 4g63t with a 91 Talon n/a trans.

Which cables should I be using? I'm trying to figure out the setup I need so I can correct this kids #### ups. Pretty annoying to not have 5th or reverse and 1st is difficult now.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
 
You got a IC cooler piping in the way of the SELECT linkage (the linkage on the left side of the tranny that moves up and down) causing this simple jam? It's quite common that happens with a lot of newbies who put the piping around the transmission area.
