Fresh bottom end little sitckey

[dicedealer702]

I am putting my bottom end back together, and when I was testing my shifting without the tranny in, it went through all the gears pretty smooth, little tough to go into 6 th but it go's. Once I put the gears in and close the case , some time it will go all the way through no problem, other time it won't make it in to 6th. And some time the rocker arm gets stuck on the point of the shifter star makeing it hard for the gears to turn Smooth, I have to really give it a good shake to make it go in to gear. I am sure I have it installed correct, do u think it will be easier to shift once the gears are in motion?

Yes it will be easier to shift with the trans in motion. Check to be sure your shift shaft is adjusted correctly also.

You have to spin the stacks to get it to shift on the bench. Hold a little tension on either shaft and spin the other and it will help engage the stack.

Plus if the retaining clip isnt on the drum it will bind,and the sprocket collar tight makes a diffrence ,motion helps too
