Any suggestions for adjusting?  I have a 5sp diesel trans, recently rebuilt
by AA Transaxle.  Over the winter, away on an extended road trip, the
reverse lock-out function seems to be going away... probably from my being
lazy and repeatedly pulling it out of gear without bothering to climb into
the driver's seat to push in the clutch.
   I am also looking to "adjust" my shift from 2nd gear (that's the gear
like first gear in a standard 4 sp Vanagon). these adjustments are likely 2
different things...the linkage was redone wben I first began with this van
maybe 100k miles ago.  the second to third gear shift has always been a
little off...easy to "miss" that gear when the tranny is cold and not
paying attention, but just fine after a few minutes and the transmission
gets warm...
   I'm really amazed at the linkage...and how it can get all the way from
front to back to work the gears. There's just too much going on under there
with interconnected leverages, vectors, etc. to actually deduce how it all
does the job...
    Anyone care to advise on what​I need to do for these two different (?)
issues?  I'm​ guessing it will be something just below the  floor, related
to the adjustment for the shift lever base, maybe something else for the
reverse "gate"...
