Default 4-speed shifter problems

The shift linkage in my 80 is hanging in reverse. When in neutral the lockout pin doesn't drop back into place. I have adjusted linkage with a gague thru all three slots in the bottom of the shifter. Still hanging. Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Apparently the much better replacement Hurst Competition Plus shifter and linkage. "Shift as hard as you want, just don't break your arm."
