I did what Roy suggested but before I realized I had replies to my question. New to the site and expected I’d get notified about a reply. By lengthening the rod did you mean the distance between the collar bolts and the coupler? Hope so since that’s what I did. But I increased that distance more than an inch just to get the shifter perpendicular. Not sure how I screwed that up because before I touched anything the shifter was perpendicular and the collar bolts were within a half inch of the coupler. But I was finally able to shift into all the gears. I’m probably really screwed but won’t know til I drive the car. I’m in the middle of replacing the alternator.
The explanation on synchronizers from my Frankfort neighbor is a real education. So I’m guessing I could have a 5th to 4th synchronizer problem. Right? I read that I should eliminate some of the simpler steps first such as checking connections and grounds and the shifter and coupler bushings. I’ve ordered a new cable. Did that because my clutch is hard to push to the floor and the cable is adjusted to the very end. Do those to facts tell me anything about the condition of my clutch?
Please be patient with me. I bought this 911 because 55 years ago I owned a 69T. Sold it when duty called. Once you’ve owned a 911 you never forget. I’m trying to test the proposition you’re never to old to learn.
