Exclamation 2001 R/T at home clutch installation problem

To anyone that can help,

I recently installed an Exedy clutch kit in my 2001 Dodge Stratus R/T 3.0l and everything is going smoothly except I can't put my shifter into 2nd, 4th, and reverse gears. When i put it into 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear everything runs smoothly and it accelerates beautifully. the only thing I can think of is that the shift linkage wasn't put together properly and looks like there's a piece missing. If anyone can send my a picture of a properly assembled shift linkage or has any advice that would be greatly appreciated...

Peter

Thanks for the link pearl, those files are great. All of the parts listed on the select lever diagram are there but I don't think I have them set up correctly. there seems to be something wrong with the way I have the select lever shoe. It looks like there's only one way it can go together. If anyone could send me a picture or has any other advice I would appreciate it

I just need to see how the select lever shoe sits on the control shaft...

I figured out what happened. The Select lever was bent some how either when we were taking out or putting the transmission back in. If anyonw knows where i can find a select lever for the tranny let me know because i'm having issues finding it online.
