Some linkage may be loose

Ok so there seams to be a spindle coming out of the transmission with a bracket that connects the rod from the shifter. Is this spindle the linkage? I was able to get the bracket to rotate but it is not moving the spindle. I'll try to tighten it and see what happens.

Those new looking rods in your pic are the linkage rods..the shifters that come out of the trans should move with the rod movement..the part that looks like a clamp with a bolt going thru it should be tight on the shifter..try tightening that bolt and see what happens..I'm not sure about the position the shifters should be in but it looks as if the one on the bottom has spun back to far..you can take the rods loose and manually twist the shifters to neutral then put the shifter in neutral and that will get you close to where it needs to be...

Thanks! I'll get back at it tomorrow. That's what it seamed like was the answer but being a Newbie I wanted to make sure before I messed it up.
