I'm still struggling with getting reverse back. This morning I only have about 30 minutes to mess with it but I loosened up the adjustment screw and disconnected the ends at the shifter side. A little adjustment and I was able to engage reverse at the transmission but when I reconnected the shifter I couldn't get it to go.

I ran out of time so tonight I'll be able to mess with it. I'm not sure why I suddenly am having this trouble but I've read that others have too. What I may try to do is set the transmission into reverse then see where the cable lines up at the shifter.

If anyone has some tips on this let me know.

Thanks.
Chris

Got it sorted. Indeed I had knocked one of the links out of whack when inwas trying to get the cables off. I popped it back in and all was well. Drove it five miles and the 3200rpm shudder is gone.
