Billyray,

Thanks for the helpful and clear advice and instructions.

. . . Those two springs and associated steel balls, red underlined "SPRING", are "detent" springs which hold a shift fork in position, keeps the fork locked in place. Those springs can be soft or broken. You can buy new springs on the web. . . "
Suggestions on where to look for these parts on the web would be appreciated by many people.

. . . Shop around, you might find a good deal on springs and forks, just buy all of those if a good price. . . "
Again, suggestions on where to look for these parts on the web would be appreciated by many people.

Here is the 2nd & 3rd shift fork. A core is needed - they must have these rebuilt.

Is the reverse-first fork not usually a problem?

Thanks,
