[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 220931, member: 3541"] Hello James. To adjust the gear shift plate put the van into 2nd gear and check that the bottom section of the gear stick is vertical with the cranked upper part inclined at 30 degrees to the rear. If not, slacken the two bolts in the mounting bracket on the cab floor, depress the clutch lever and adjust the position of the gear lever so that it's as mentioned above. Under the bracket there is a reverse gear stop plate, push this as far left as it will go without causing the gear lever to move. Tighten the mounting bolts and then put it into 1st gear. The line of movement between 1st and 2nd should be straight fore and aft, without any tendency to move diagonally. If this isn't possible, loosen the mounting bolts slightly and twist the stop plate slightly to correct this. Later vans have lugs on the stop plate to avoid this misalignment. Sideways movement at the lever knob when in gear should be no more than 35mm, and in neutral the movement should not exceed 70mm. If there is more play than this it means that there is excessive wear in the linkage. [/QUOTE]
