You need a 1/4" pin or bolt to shove through the shifter body and shifter arms under the car. There is a hole in the body that needs to be lined up with similar 1/4" holes in each of the three shifter arms. Once you line up the arms and insert the pin, adjust the three shifter rods until they are all in neutral, including the reverse arm. Once you've done that, secure the rod adjustments and pull out the pin. It would be a good time to lubricate the shifter, too. I use #30 motor oil out of a squirt can and work the shifter to get oil on all the rubbing surfaces, wipe off the excess, and it will work like a charm.
