Default shifter adjust question

I'm in the process of adjusting my shifter... I even lined up the moon shaped cutout of the shifter shaft perfectly with the bolt hole. Problem is, my reverse still kicks out. It seems a bit better though.

In what direction should I be adjusting the shifter in order to fix this? or does this mean it's something elese (bent fork, etc)

any advice would help

Denis

check for damaged bushing where the shifter box bolts to the torque tube. There is also some forward & backwards adjustment that can be done there too...Also make sure the black wedge at the bottom is seated into the slot on the torque tube

Default Senna...

Well, I know nothing of your shifter, but I will say that Ayrton Senna is my life long hero. I almost got SENNAF1 for a custom plate, but assumed no one would get it. You just don't see or hear that name anymore. Mad props.
