Check my comments in the recent thread "Clutch drag" and the necessity for the engines position to be checked. For adjustment of 1st & 3rd gears, the gear -change support 'box' is moved FORWARD, and for adjustment of 2nd, 4th & reverse, the support 'box' is moved BACK. If you run out of adjustment slot, there is something fundamentally wrong somewhere. When I had work done on the rear of my 500, the new shape of one of the rear wings dictated that I put a thin (1.5mm) shim between the body and the rear cross-member which, because it moved the engine back a little bit, effected selection of 2nd/4th/rev. So, as you can see, it doesn't take much to effect gear selection.
