You haven't accidentally swapped the left and right linkages?

This is odd usually it's reverse that won't play ball as there is contact with the inside of the shifter console......requires some fine tuning.

I seemed to remember starting with marked cable positions and then adjusting step by step until I could get all gears......hot and cold.

Did you remove and install in neutral?

Of course, I did. I'm an idiot. And that is what idiots do.

Swapped cables back and bingo, I have gears!
