Forks on the road

The transmission is nearly assembled. The 1-2 and 3-4 shift forks are on the road and headed this way.

The side cover, reverse light switch, part number tag and brackets for the reverse lockout cable are all here and ready to put on.

Putting the rear housing on and getting the shift fork for the reverse gear into the groove on the reverse gear was a lot easier than expected. It is a blind process, but it lining up very quickly and it all came together on the first try.

The speedometer gear sleeve went in and looks good, but its retainer fits poorly so an NOS one was ordered.

My father donated to the cause a seal driver kit that he bought but never used. It came in clutch to install the rear seal.

All in all, this is coming together very well and it looks amazing. The parts needed to finish this should come this week, so this should all be together this next weekend.
