In neutral, you should be able to slide a 1/4" drill bit clear thru all 3 levers. It will fit into the indentations on both sides of the shifter case as well.
Note that your problem sounds like a clutch adjustment, not releasing all the way. Adjust the rod from the Z-bar to the cluth fork a little longer and try it. I like the clutch to just "load" the motor 4" off the floor. If all the linkage is right that should leave you with an inch of freeplay at the top.

thanks
hey ...thanks for the information,i will check the clutch adjustment first(and keep my fingers crossed).I had a question about the linkage indentations,can this be checked from inside the car with the shifter cover removed or does it need to be done from underneath ?
