4spd hard to go from reverse to Neutral

Ok, I have lined up all the pin holes at the bottom of the shifter and ALL the rods have been put on correct with trans in neutral. The issue I am having is that when I go into Reverse and then try and go to neutral to grab 1st gear it binds up. With some serious wiggling and kind of Pulling up on the shifter it will eventually go. Does this sound like the shifter itself is out of adjustment??

If so can someone give me direction on how to do it?? I can see an adjusting bolt on the front of the…

replacing transmission – two questions

Okay. Today I popped in my newly rebuilt 360 and A833 gearbox. I wasn’t present during the removal of the transmission, but I did get it in back myself. Before I get everything bolted and cinched back into place I have two questions that maybe someone can answer.

engine alignment

Today I was able to drop in my newly rebuilt 360 into my ’65 Barracuda. I connected the bell housing and the transmission (A833 4-speed) and sailed it in. For engine mounts, I used the Schumacher units.
