Greg, I haven't found any good info on this adjuster anywhere I've looked.
Why would I need to remove the cover to replace it? When I look down inside
I can see the spring ends and the adjuster screws in right between them. I
don't know how taking off the rear cover would allow me to do anything
different.

2. The offset shift adjuster - John Ulrich thinks you are referring to
the Shift Offset Bracket (SOB) made by Stephen Brenton. I think you may
be referring to the shift adjustment nut located near the shift output
shaft. If it is a large flat-tip screwdriver-headed bolt with a lock
nut, then - unfortunately - I am correct. If you've removed it, then you
will have to take the back cover off of the 5 speed transmission to
reinstall it correctly. As you've already noted, the business end of the
adjuster is offset. Normally, it lives between the ends of the shift
return spring. See here:
