Greg,
It sounds like one or both of the laygear thrust washers are jammed or
damaged which is preventing you from moving the cluster. Also, the smaller
or rear thrust washer has to be removed before you can slide out the
assembly in the first place. That 1/16" or so of extra movement (after the
small washer is out) allows the cluster to move to that end and clear the
forward end boss in the casing. Once you get the gears out be sure to check
the condition of the casing on both ends where the washers are up against
the casing. I've got several extra TR6 boxes in case you need one.

Subject: [Fot] TR6 transmission rebuild - counter shaft gears
I am rebuilding a TR6 transmission and ran into a strange snag. When I
removed the countershaft the counter shaft gears did not drop to the bottom
of the case. I had to tap on the counter shaft gear set with a brass punch
to get them to move far enough to allow the input shaft and gear to be
removed. Now that I have the main shaft out of the case, I can't get the
counter shaft gears out of the case. I've been able to move them a little
bit by tapping on the gears with a brass punch through the drain hole but I
can't get them out. Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas to get them
out?
Thanks.
Greg
