adjusting shift linkage

[dipso]

I put in new shift bushings today and have one question hopefully somebody could answer.
When turning the coupler to the right, should I of turned it two clicks or just to the first stop. I turned it to the first stop and put it back together, seems to be O.K.
After researching here upon completion, one guy said he did his to the second click.
Which one is the right one?

I did feel those shift stops when I was taking it apart and moving it around, just checking things out. I was concerned about losing its place or shifting gears or whatever, it's my first time. So I didn't move it to hard or far.
When I re-assembled everything I only went to the first stop, it looks like I should of went further to the second. I will try that tomorrow morning.
It is really easy to do, and the shifter is a lot more solid with the new bushings.
I guess in hindsight the coupler would have to move forward or backwards to change gears on me.
Better safe than sorry, I have learned.

I couldn't wait until morning. I went and adjusted it a second time,ended up in the same place. It looks like the first click is straight up, you wouldn't want that one anyways. Oh well.
After reading some threads here suggesting not pulling to the left going into second I think I see the problem. There is a black plastic or nylon guide beneath the top plate on the shift housing. That guide is what guides it into second.I think mine is a little worn, that's why I am nicking second coming in if I pull left and not straight back. Metal shift rod vs nylon guide + 33 years = nylon guide worn.
Time for a replacement part, new housing or just learn how to shift.

Anyways, Thanks for the help
