Mark,
I figured out the linkage clearance problem with the shifter while making the
adjustment.  Thanks for telling the others about this potential problem.  If the
shifter contacted the linkage before full movement downward one of these would get
bent or broken.  I have not tried the brake pedal adjustment as I don't mind its
present position, but it is a good idea as well.
