Is the shifter bolted to something? When mine was off I thought something was wrong with it, didn't want to go over left far enough to get in reverse. After I bolted it to the transmission it worked well.

If you're getting the two drivers side gates but not 3-4 it's probably just adjustment.

If it's a factory style shifter, the alignment rig pin only goes into the two levers on the drivers side, the factory has a special tool the uses the rig pin for those two levers and the 3-4 lever is rigged by aligning the sides of the levers. In the absence of this tool the best you can do is trial-and-error.
