heya,

pulled the front cover on the t56 to replace the input-shaft seal and now can't get the darn cover back on..

the cover slides on but the reverse shift rail won't go back into position, it is about 1/2 in offset from where it needs to be..

is there a trick to this??

 

ok somehow the guide for the reverse rail is no longer matching up with the fork.. you can get the cover on with the rail out but if you put the rail back in the only gears you can get are 1&2..

ideas?

 

hmm, well, no ideas, the best input I have here for everyone is don't do it..

since it is an extra I am just going to rebuild the thing..

 

Sorry.. If i was home i'd pull mine apart for ya.. But getting er rebuilt is a good idea as well..

 

Yep, I got bit by the "how hard can it be bug" something simple turned out to be well.. you know..

so oh well, got the rebuild manual and some pics.. tear it down!!
