Your transmission isn't out of adjustment, your shifter is probably worn. There is no side to side adjustment thru the neutral gate, only in and out of the gears with the shift rods to the transmission levers. Check out this link. Zip sells replacement parts. Have fun.

Mine did the same thing, 1st gear was a PIA to find. Installed the kit and it was a night / day difference.
