When my t-5 was out of my car I saw a torx bolt( looks like the drain and fill plugs but a #50 torx head) was a little loose so I tightened it up. Bad idea. My shifter won't move now. So I loosened it up some and now the shifter will move agian but dosen't want to go into reverse. What is the proper way to adjust this??

thats connected to the reverse shifter arm in the transmission, i dont know how to adjust it, BUT the drain and fill plugs are in fact on the other side of the t5, they use a 3/8 ratchet drive to loosen and tighten them.

try loosening it up back to where it was and see if you can get it to work again.

It holds the 5-R shift linkage in place inside the transmission.

You may need to take the top cover off to reinstall it correctly.
