Cant seem to get into fourth without really slamming it in, have recently had the gear linkage off to fit a kad but not sure what I could have done here?

Catching the reverse gate do-dah on the selector cover plate?

 

What's a kad, summet made by KAD?

If you have the rubber bellows fitted on the Shift Rod, in front of the Coupling, cut it off.

Short shifts can cause issues with gear selections.

Underplate back to front? Do you stil need to lift for reverse?

Hmm... if all you've changed is the gear stick (assuming you fitted a KAD quick shift stick?).

I've recently experienced the issue of refitting the rod change after years off the car and managed to get the yoke upside down.

The symptoms I had were gears 1 through 4 engaged but it felt sloppy - could not get reverse at all.

Not exactly what you've got but might be helpful.

 

Make sure the roll pins haven't drifted out and aren't fouling the diff casing.

it's a PIA but worth double checking the yoke under the gear shift isn't inverted.

This way up...

I ended up taking it all back apart ensuring the yoke was the correct way up, cleaned and regreased and now seems to be right, not sure what I did wrong but working now
