OK, how do I adjust the shifter mechanisms forward of the tranny and
the shift lever/cup/ball directly attached to the tranny?

Clutch is functional (it got me to Portland in 1st and 2nd gear!)
Tranny makes no noises and shifts through all 5 gears, with engine
running, by hand at tranny
Shift lever/ball/cup has cracked boots, but all parts seem intact. I
haven't removed or adjusted them in any way since acquiring Cunegonde
2 months ago.
Front shifter rod forks have the plastic ends on the ears, where the
shift lever attaches
Front shifter box inside spare tire well has a aluminum casting bolted
on driver's side and bare steel rail welded on passenger side. Bentley
says '83 should have a rubber bumper where the rail is.
Not clear whether I use the 19, 21, or 22mm spacer to adjust the
distance from the passenger side front shift rod ear.
Bentley does not state distance front shifter rod fork should be below
the plate (where the shifter enters the cab) or above the base of the
front shifter box. How do I adjust the set screw collar for the height
spring on the shifter lever? (ie, the detent spring for reverse that's
above the plastic ball joint inside the cab, hidden by the shift lever
accordion boot)

Or, who's the best shop for this sort of thing in Portland OR?

Also, thanks to the guy who had a Vanagon garage sale today in North
Portland. I now have a spare ECU, starter, driver side mirror,
complete tailgate withj wiper, and all the muffler brackets I needed!
