Couple of pointers:
As mentioned, with Group N linkages (Miles' or BBM's) you find the gears at either end of the gearstick (1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, reverse) curve round slightly. This is because the extended movement of the selector rod under the car causes interference with other parts and fouling. Solution I found was to fit a GE quickshift as the design gives more clearance at the gearbox end, or as Niall did you can adjust linkage lengths.
Also refit the lower half of the rubber boot to the base of the quick shift or you'll end up with vibrations and road noise coming into the cabin. The top half doesn't fit without modification.
