[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 220641, member: 4617"] No shims on the shift drum. It is held firmly in place against the support bearing. Everything seems to be in order. Have been testing the shifting turning the transmission shaft by hand, can't get going very fast - go figure. Have been able to cycle through the gears. Going up into 5th is quite good. Do have the getting into first issue, thinking that you are in first when you downshift from second and you're not. Going up into second from first sometimes didn't work that well before either. Downshifting from fifth the gears need to catch up with the shift. The gears do move initially but not all the way, then with a few more hand revolutions of the transmission shaft the gear drops into place. You can see this on the external shift linkage where the shift drum stopper arm rotates on the roller stopper. This reminds me of that feeling you get when you're trying to crest a steep hill, you get to the top and you're on the cusp of making it, then you do. This has to be a shaft speed issue. Dry fit the water pump cover as well and tested the shifting with it attached. Should be good to go. Thinking that I did not have everything just right when I initially put the engine back together. Found some bolts that were a bit loose as well. Had this thought in my head for a bit. Cleaned all the gasket surfaces, and should have it back in by Friday. [/QUOTE]
