New electric 6volt Carter fuel pump installed and good to go! Engine is running pretty well. Brakes are holding. Today's issue: Shifter.

I can shift into 2nd and 3rd but not reverse/1st. I can manually shift by moving the linkage with my hands but the shifter is not releasing the 2/3 coupler when i try to engage reverse/1st. I can see the two sections on the column in the engine compartment and it looks like both sections are trying to move when the shifter is pulled back for reverse/1st. Does that make sense?

Is the any adjustment in the shifter?
