Remove these two bolts, they are located on the exterior of the main case.

Once you have that done you can lift the main housing off. Make sure to watch that shift tower hole, that piece that you punched the pin out of has to be turned just right so it doesn’t catch. You should now be able to pull the main housing straight off. Now you get your first full view of all those beautiful gears. Don’t I look happy? (Actually I was trying to tell my other grandpa how to work my camera.)

Look at the way the shift forks fit together, I didn’t do this and had to sit and figure that all out on my own. I put a picture that shows the important area to study. It actually makes a lot of sense if you sit and figure out how it works. The forks go in order, 1/2 on the outside 3/4 next followed by 5/6 with reverse on the inside.

If you’re doing like me and are replacing the 5th gear synchro you don’t have to pull any snap rings or anything, just lift the two shafts out. Before you can lift them out, you must remove the bolts holding the 5th/6th gear crossover arm.

You can now lift the gears out. You can do this by just screwing a bolt into each of them and lifting them with the engine hoist and a chain. The one that falls apart is the 5th gear synchro.

Or if you don’t want that to fall apart just yet can make a clamp to put on there. I just used two pieces of iron, bent one to make it fit a little better, and drilled a hole for a bolt.
