GT6 Shift linkage

[Blofed <blofeld@access1.net>]

Well yesterday I replaced all those little nylon, metal and rubber bits in the 
shift linkage and you know something... it all feels like new!  I am truly 
amazed.  There is one problem though...
I can shove it right in reverse if I'm not careful.  The shifter springs are 
compressed down all the way, so I can't push down to go into reverse.  What did 
I do?  I replaced everything as it came off.
Any ideas?  Thanks for everybody's previous help.
