I seem to recall having this same issue on a 914 (tailshift) a long time ago. It turned out the coupling was pulling apart (speed shifting?), essentially lengthening the rod. When accessing the gears at the "top" of the pattern, pushing forward on the lever there was no problem. Pulling back there wasn't enough travel. This sounds exactly like your issue.

You could see on the coupling where it had slipped. Easy fix.
