When you adjust the shift sfaft make sure the transmission in in gear. Check the adjusting stud, the spring that rides on the stud and the area where the spring rides on the shift shaft for wear. I had one a while ago that the stud, spring and shaft all had some wear and with all of them combined you could turn the adjusting stud all the way around but it didn't make any difference to the adjustment. Also just to clairify... when you adjust the shift shaft you want to get the forks on the shaft to be centered on the pins on the shift star, then lock the nut and fold over the lock tab washer. You could also check to make sure the arm that rides on the shift star is moving freely. It will have spring pressure against it but if you got the spring on crooked it could lock that arm in place and not allow the shift star to move properly.
