901 5 speed gearbox access
 

Is it possible to inspect the joint between the longitudinal shift rod and the inner shift rod with the engine/transmission in the car? The joint is apparently held together by a simple clevis pin. I want to inspect for wear/slop.

I have replaced all bushes, etc. in the external gear linkage and have now fitted a Rennshifter but I still have a lot of trouble selecting first (at rest). If I adjust to try to make this easier then I snick reverse when changing 1st to 2nd.

When in 1st the gear lever has a lot of play left to right which may be normal but I would like to inspect the joint between the two rods.
