[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 632373, member: 3541"] All buses are different, so what is a perfect shift for one won’t even engage 1st for another. Try adjusting the gear shift again, put it into 2nd gear, loosen the two bolts holding the base of the gearshift and move the gearstick so that the bottom bit is vertical and the cranked bit is at 30 degrees to the rear of the van. Then move the shift plate as far left as possible without moving the gearstick. Tighten the two bolts. This should help selection of 1st and 2nd. If the lever doesn't travel straight forward and back in the 1st/2nd plane, try slightly twisting the shiftplate. If this doesn’t work make sure the front shaft bush under the gear stick is OK, check the collar attaching the two shift rods is secure, then the rear shift coupler at the gearbox. If the bushing is worn at the rear coupler this can give poor gear selection. [/QUOTE]
