A1 shift linkage help

Anyone have a link for instructions on how to install/align a 5-spd A1 shift kit? Or help me with installation. I installed the kit, everything not just bushings and shift rods, the whole shebang. But, still cant get into reverse or 5th. I tried aligning the shifter base, no help. The tranny goes into gears just fine when I unhook and shift by hand at the tranny, so it's not the tranny. It just seems like there is not enough throw/range of motion in the shifter. DO I need to adjust the rod length. I'm at odds with this, and just can't seem to find good directions. All help appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you sure you got the 5-spd kit? There's a little difference between the

5 and 4-spd. One of the ball joint link is shorter on the 5-spd. If all is okay then shift the base left or right in small increments.

To lazy to get the manual out. I thought the base was aligned using a dril bit in some holes. All adjustments are done starting with 13 millimeter gap and then rod position.
