Shifter adjustment is really to line up the 1-2 hate with the reverse stop
plate. All other gear positons are determioned by the tranny. If 4th gear is
the only issue, you most liely have a cracked slider hub and will need to
address it. If 1st and 2nd easy easy to get into, then things are adjusted
OK.
