I cracked my tailshaft so I took the tranny out and found another tailshaft on ebay, same exact tailshaft so no issure there. I also took the top gearbox cover and bearing retainer off to see the condition of the internals. Well, I think I've figured out how the top cover goes back on but the tailshaft seems to put a lot of drag on the gears when I bolt it down tight. It seems to be down on the bottom right where 5th gear sticks out behind the gearbox. The old tailshaft does the same thing so there is no difference between the two. I'm I missing something here? I know almost nothing about tranny's so help me out guys. Oh, and is there any trick to getting that stupid little spring and ball below the shifter back in place? It's driving me nuts. Thanks.
