Top loader snap rings install qustion

Post by 69candy »

So my toploader had all new syncros and snap rings, inserts installed. Second gear would not engauge from first start up, and now it locked itself in third!! Was working fine??

Pulled it down and found that one of the inserts has snaped a corner off. It was also out of its hole, which is why it locked itself in. My question is. is there a trick to putting in the insets and snap rings?? G/box would shift fine in the shed. Linkages were all fine. Am I missing somthing, as this is my first g/box rebuild in 30 years!! Does it matter which one the hump sits in??
