Is the shift lever supposed to be lined up with the end that fits into the sliders? Reason I ask is that when I push it straight ahead for second I get fourth, meaning the lever is twisted to the left. No problem with shifting, but after years of shifting in that pattern with other tractors it seems wrong. Tractor is disassembled, including lever and trans cover. There is a bushing over the place someone could have welded, not eager to move the bushing as it will be damaged if moved. Tractor has battery under the seat, may have something to do with the lever hitting the seat. -- The earlier shifter has a different part number. Seems like someone posted about this earlier.
