a tranny mount could affect it if it moves enough.

other than that if u adjusted linkage, i would say u might have a bad gear.

The gear is held in place with a detent. The detent has three components, a bullet looking bearing, a spring and a nut/bolt to hold it in the housing. If, the detent has failed, proper gear engagement will be near impossible. You can access it from the outside of the TC case. Other than that, check all your motor/tranny mounts.
