top pic is 5th engaged, next one is out farther than it should be in reverse, 3rd is normal reverse, 4th neutral. is the shift rod guide fork plate back on for this test? is the tang on the main shift rod engaged into the notch in the 5th/reverse rod for all the pics? you can pull the 5th/rev rod out farther if the tang isn't limiting it's travel. that's how they are removed.
