Problem shifting after tob install

[Kyle_KleinSS]

Ok guys I just replaced my tob and the retainer sleeve. Overall the job went smooth. but when I just reinstalled the shifter, the car wont go in 3 and 4, but it will go in to 1,2,5,6. This is with the car off as I can not start it yet. Is this normal after reinstalling the trans and I havent spun it yet? Or do I have another problem? As far as I remember when the car is off you can hit all of the gears. So is this normal or do I need to pull it apart again?

Might sound dumb, but I've heard of people putting the shifter on backwards. Just a thought.

 

[Kyle_KleinSS]

No that's definitely not it. I don't think anything would have happened that I can't get it to go in to them gears? I'm at a loss. Maybe if I start the car they will go in gear

Have you readjusted the clutch yet?

 

[Kyle_KleinSS]

Yea I backed my adjuster out to where it was before. The clutch desks good the shifter just keeps binding up. More I think about it maybe I need to start the car and spin the trans

Don't know if of any importance. But we did stand trans on end vertically to aid in installing front cover. Can't see that causing any issues. But should throw that out there just in case. Slid back into engine with ease by hand.

Anybody?

I wouldn't be concerned until you try this with the car running. I've noticed that sometimes I cannot put mine into gear with the car off but never had any problems with the car running. Not sure why this is (maybe a synchro thing?), but I've always thought it was normal.

same for me

Turn the engine over by hand or either just crank it (with the clutch engage) simply to move the gears in the trans, might just work.

Gonna try with it with the motor running when I get my blower back. I know before I used to hit all 6 that's why I was concerned
