I think it might be a linkage problem as I was told by a qualified mechanic that an 8th of an inch can make a lot of difference in shifting. You might check to see if there is any slop in the connection at the transmission. Mine was slightly loose and I had trouble shifting into reverse. I have a phone number of a good transmission specialist (in Seattle area) if you need it-perhaps just to talk to on the phone.
