Is this wear acceptable?

Not sure bud, but could you take a picture of the way you have the guts aligned before you put the cover back on, in particular where is the reverse gear thing supposed to be. I am only able to shift 3rd and Overdrive gears I can not shift 1st and 2nd nor reverse, and this is by hand without using the Hurst shifter, so I know its not the shifter, and I know they are supposed to shift with an adjustable wrench or by just pulling and pushing on the rods by hand.
