Other side, lol!

Honestly, I didn't even have to take anything apart. I remember pulling on the shifter really hard to get it out of 5th the first time I drove it after install, and that had to be when I bent the fork. The fix was simple; when it popped out of 5th the last time, I pushed the clutch in, stuck it...

I had a shift fork slightly tweaked, that's all. Easy fix.

I could do that. Man I hate doing something twice...

Yes it does still positively lock into 5th. The reason for needing a new cover gasket, is because when I put it together I sealed this gasket with copper gasket sealant. I meant for it not to leak or be removed for a very long time. I'm sure that if I remove it the gasket will peel or tear. I'm...

I'll have to get another lid gasket before I pull the cover. This is something I don't want leaking. If I do in fact have to change the synchro, I will have to drop the transmission now, because the main shaft can't come out separately from the counter shaft. Well, it can, but they are way...
