[TURBO]

[TURBO [OP]]

then the 9.5mm (0.375") detent ball

[TURBO [OP]]

time to install 5th gear (upper) shift rod

[toe]

 

[TURBO [OP]]

am i do'n ok so far toe?

...angled side first

[TURBO [OP]]

PAUSE
right here for a moment and
lets get 5th/rev shift block ready

[TURBO [OP]]

install the interlock pin in the 5th/rev shift block

[TURBO [OP]]

you might have to use a punch or something just to push the shift rod in until the detent ball clicks into place

[TURBO [OP]]

next thing i did was put the roll pin in the 5th gear conector-ma-bobber

[TURBO [OP]]

then i moved the 5th/rev shift block into a position so that when i hammered the roll pin home the interlock pin wouldn't fall out

[TURBO [OP]]

then i installed the 5th gear conector-ma-bobber

[TURBO [OP]]

then i put the 5th gear e-clip in place

[TURBO [OP]]

then it's time for another interlock pin

[TURBO [OP]]

make sure the interlock pin is still in the 5th/rev shift block, and that it is out of the way of the shift rail that's gonna need to go threw there

[TURBO [OP]]

note how the shift block is up against the e-clip

[TURBO [OP]]

reverse shift rod

[TURBO [OP]]

[TURBO [OP]]

i use the angled face to help push down the detent ball

[TURBO [OP]]

install roll pin in reverse-hangger-ba-janger

[TURBO [OP]]

now here's a tricky part... sense i left the reverse light switch in, i had to use the "ramp" to press the switch down, then i flipped the shift rod 180 degrees into it's 'normal' position

1st: put angled side towards switch

[TURBO [OP]]

2nd: install interlock pin

[TURBO [OP]]

now push the shift rod all the way in

[TURBO [OP]]

now turn the shift rod over

[TURBO [OP]]

then i put the roll pin threw the rod

[TURBO [OP]]

next is the Reverse e-clip

[TURBO [OP]]

next goes the big interlock pin

[TURBO [OP]]

heres where I but the first HD spring...

[TURBO [OP]]

then I put in the 1st/2nd shift rod

[TURBO [OP]]

interlock pin

[TURBO [OP]]

shift block and fork
