Once mounted, the Shifter needs to be in neutral, with all neutral gates lined up with “ tool” that holds everything in shifter in neutral…. then the linkage adjusted at the transmission levers while they are each placed in neutral.
the “ tool” (for a stock shifter) is a flat piece, about 1/2inch wide, 1/16+ thick and 1.5-2 inches long…
I have not heard of needing to unbolt/rebuilt the shifter body, that should be completely separate from adjustment and should affect adjustment.
I have mine apart right now, and was just prepping my new linkage the other night…. Don’t recall anything in the instructions or service manual.
I am installing a new/reproduction shifter and linkage kit from Paragon.
