Hi to all,
I'm a relative newcomer to TR6 and this list; I asked earlier about tires and 
got a tremendously useful response, so I'll try again:

1976 TR6: the pressure to get the gearshift lever into the reverse gate has 
increased, so now it's quite a hard push to get it over.  Bently has an  
section on adjusting the gearshift lever and it looks easy.  Just wondering if 
any of you have had this happen and if the adjustment in place has a good 
chance of fixing it or will it require top cover removal and small part 
replacement/adjustment.  I don't think there's a problem with the reverse idler 
or the shaft, since once the lever is in the gate the shift to reverse is 
smooth.

Although I'm new to TR6 I have considerable mechanical experience from The Old 
Days, and have done quite a few transmission overhauls so the more detail the 
better.

Thanks a lot in advance.
