4kq Gearshift adjustment

Came across the procedure for adjusting the gearshift linkage in my Bentley.
Anyone know if an adjustment would correct the difficulty I have shifting
into first and reverse?

I've got no bounce-back from the left stop when in 1st, but about a 1/4"
from the right stop when in 5th.

Seems like it could use an adjustment.  Do I really need the tool?  If so,
should I take it to a transmission shop, Audi repair shop or Dealer?  If
not, should I attempt this myself?  Any BTDT would be appreciated.

Could the intermittent grinding when up-shifting into second be a result of
a misadjustment?  Can't tell if it's not quite into gear or if the clutch is
not fully disengaged when I'm shifting.

Thanks in advance,
