You need to hook up the clutch fork to the u bracket and install return spring. Then deal with shifter linkage

I agree. One step at a time, one problem at a time.

One other thing: The shifter to transmission linkages won't align if the adjusters are at the top. They have to be at the transmission. The bent ends go to the steering column.

Notice that they hang below the arms on the column:


Notice too, how oily and dirty everything gets when you drive them a lot. And a little bit rusty too.

While I really appreciate the amount of time, effort and money that goes into the immaculate,never driven, perfect, enclosed trailer queen show winner truck, I am always drawn to the trucks with some rock chips and bug splatter everywhere.
