[Fot] Transmission Question

[Larry Young]

My problem is not with the main shaft but with the little idler gear on 
the small reverse shaft.  I need to get it positioned so it engages the 
lever.  If you go to the online manual 
http://www.vtr.org/maintain/TransRebuild/TRTrans02.pdf  and look at the 
late model transmission blow up. The lever I'm talking about is labeled 
#63.  The bottom of that lever needs to engage in the slot on the 
reverse idler gear, #68.  I remember these are always getting miss 
located during a rebuild and you need to wire it in place.  I probably 
didn't know that when I built this one.  There must be a clever way to 
fix this without a complete tear down.
