On a 1969 VW Beetle the shifter has a plate underneath which mandates pushing the shifter down for reverse and the edge the shifter rides on for reverse has a lip on it does that lip go up or down?

The 'stop plate' lip goes up and to the right...as if you were sitting in the drivers seat. Bolt it all up loosely. As you snug down the bolts, note that the position (forward and backward) is adjustable. That's why the bolt holes in the plate are oval shaped. Position the plate as close to the middle as you can to start out. Try all the gears and make sure you can get in each of the gears *all the way*. If the adjustment is not correct, it could pop out of gear. Also, under the rear seat is a coupler that hooks the shift rod to the transmission. Those go bad and wear out all the time, so check that connection out while you are mucking around with the shift system as it is a common area for problems related to shifting. Under the rear seat, in the center, is a large oval shaped plate with a Phillips screw. The coupler is under there and should be inspected every year at least.
