My aucward little shifter

Well I thought I'd just share this as you just never know it might help someone else as well!
I have been having trouble with shifting gear for ever, so I bought all the bits to refurb the linkage. Duly fitted all as the book and after studying the wiki thingy
Still almost impossible to change gear without brute force.
So today I thought one last try before either taking it to a garage or passing it on only joking I think!
Went through every step again and it did seem very slightly better so the last part of the advice was" play with the plate inside the cab" so I did and guess what it got worse again!!!
So quite bemused I was just about to give up when I remembered that the gear stick part that I replaced had already obviously been renewed after that thought I thought bugger this I wonder what would happen if I removed the plate and turned it round so I did and it is so so so much better I won't say it is perfect but it so much better I just had to share the news.
