Default Need urgent help with Tranny problem

Yesterday I did a fast and hard shift and now it is difficult to shift. The gear change are very difficult and I need to do a complete stop to engage first, I can feel the gear engaging at the end of the travel. I feel some kind of loose in the Shifter Linkeage and it is very notchy.

Is there any adjustment in the Shift Linkage on the Tranny side ? I already check on the Shifter side and everything seem ok (I already installed a V&S Short Shifter)


Thanks
Sorry for my bad english

Default There is a pivot bolt that holds the shift arm inside the trans.

It is on the passenger side of the trans Here is a picture of the bolt that might be broken.
