Today I finally got around to finishing Itchyfeet's pictorial explanation of overhauling the 4-speed gear/shift rod mechanism. It now includes adjustment.
Takes an age to do them as I have to go into photobucket, save the image, crop it. resize it and compress it. Just need to link other gearbox WIKI pages to the adjustment section now....

Re: 4-speed adjustment explained
Wouldn't it be a good idea to state which 4 speed gearbox linkage it refers too?

Re: 4-speed adjustment explained
Indeed, amongst 1001 other things my familiy seem to want me to do today 
Its the longest WIKI piece to date and will no doubt get bigger over time. Wait till we get on autos....
Still tidying it all up but had enough for today. There are minor differences between diesel and petrol setups (the 5-speed one discusses this). The 4-speed one is relatively new but the differences are more to do with way front end is mounted. Adjustment may also be slightly different on a diesel but all the principles are the same. Not worth doing one for each type thats for sure - too much work. If anyone wants to provide pics and info on differences thats fine.
