71 Super Shifting problems

I just got a 71 SB last night, and the shift coupler was trashed. I replaced that, did my best with the carburetor, and it runs. But I can't for the life of me find 3rd gear. or 4th. 1st to 2nd is easy, 2nd to 1st is tricky, and 3rd an d 4th are just...non existent. reverse is easy Are these trannies usually this loose? I can wriggle the shifter around in gear, as though i'm in neutral. This doesn't seem right, to me. I'm suspecting bushings. Where would I be able to buy replacement bushings, and how much are they? Could there be another problem??

Thanks

Here's the first step.

Other bushings and shifter parts are also available.

Got the EMPI part with red urethane from BAP Import Parts. It helped tons, but didn't fix it.

Re: 71 Super Shifting problems

Did you check the plate under the shifter to see if it's in the right way? Old VW's should never die.
