Disconnect the ball end of cable from shifter so cable doesn't interfere with movement. Put lever in forward and try it, put it in reverse and try it. If both engage in gear put lever on transmission in neutral. Then put shift lever up,front in neutral. Adjust the nuts on cable to fit housing bracket and tighten nuts one side then other to keep,centered. That should do the trick, might have to move slightly but doubt it.DONE.I can move the lever by hand, but even after move the lever to where Forward is it is still stuck in reverse. Not lifted.
