So you can get it into R, 1, & 2? And you've tried shifting around 
the shift plates? How about the orientation of the shift plates, I can 
never remember how they go (top to bottom, left to right), I always 
have to check my manual if I've lost the original orientation.

If you've been all thru that, put the tranny in N, then pull the shift 
lever all the way out and reach down with your hand. Can you 
wobble the shift rod equally to the left and right?

If it is not even, then could it be possible that the new coupling you 
got was drilled slightly off so that the set screw holes are not in 
line?
