Do you have the 2 shift pins in? These engage the shifter and hold it in position.
Where I am pointing too, need to be in neutral. Were you able to turn the input shaft without turning the output shaft?
Turning the shaft.
Are the shift forks lined up right?
Others will chine in.

RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
try this:
take the shifter top off.
align the shift collars (inside the Transmission ) so they are in neutral.
make sure the shifter top is in neutral by moving the shifter around and double checking the forks.
Slide the forks into the collars inside the Transmission .
gently snug up the top with the bolts, and see if it will turn.
If not, repeat step 1.

I finally got it to fit and work but I'm back to the beginning now. It still won't go into 2nd gear after I replaced the forks. I guess I just assumed that it was just the gear forks. I believe it's the 2nd and 3rd gear Sychronizer. So I'm gonna try that tomorrow. Any tips on how to tell if the Sychronizer is bad? The fork was ate down pretty well but now they're new

If you rebuilt the Transmission yourself, you can use 2 of the old large roller bearings, as they fit. Otherwise, PM me and I will send you 4.

PM means Private Message me your address that way I can send them to you. If I send you 2 and you lose one, then you need another. If I send 4 you have spares.
