So I have spend an inordinate amount of time moving the gears by hand and trying to understand how this works. First couple pic is what I believe to be neutral. The 3rd pic is the gearbox in 3rd gear. I can not get it to engage 4rth. Can anyone tell anything from this picture? I can physically move (wiggle a bit) the brass synchronizer on the back side of the front shift collar that allows it to engage 3rd - but the one on the front which would allow it to enter 4rth is too tight to move. I poured some gear oil over this area and tried to work it in. I’m letting it soak now.
I’m confident that I understand the shift cover positions and that I’m engaging both collars and the reverse fork when I install the top cover. I hunker down and tip the cover on its side a bit so I can see the forks engage the collars, then straighten it out, then down. When you install the shifter and hit reverse you can hear an audible clink of the reverse gear sliding over and engaging.
