if you look at the shaft coming out of the gearbox it has a hole in it put a punch through this and hold it so the hole is vertical, then set the rod so that the rectangular knuckle is perfectly horizontal bobs your uncle

it took me a few hours to get mine sorted.

minute adjustments everytime, sometimes i'd just slacken off the nut and do it straight back up again and it'd be different.

its worth it though.
