I’ve got almost everything completed on my 5 speed swap on my1981 HJ47. But before I install the newly modified drive shafts, I wanted to make sure the 5 speed shifts correctly, knowing that the shifter assembly (top cover) needs to be installed with the shift forks properly engaged. The problem is when I bolt on the top cover and shifter, it wont shift. It seems to be in neutral. The shifter will move side to side, but will not engage any of the gears. I tried adjusting the clutch thinking maybe that was the issue, but no change. With the shifter assembly on the bench, I cant get the shifter to move the forks?? The truck isn’t powered up yet, so this is with the truck just sitting in the shop. Shouldn’t I be able to get it in gear using the clutch at this point? This tranny is new out of the box, but has been sitting for 4 years in my garage. Any help from the members would save me some stress and a trip to my local transmission shop.
