[Fot] TR6 transmission rebuild - counter shaft gears

[M&M Hado]

When the rear washer is not bound, jammed, or damaged, it simply slides out
since it has .007 - .012" clearance, if the gear float is within spec.
Also, there is an anti-rotation tab that lines up with a slot in the casing.
If the washer had rotated beyond the point where the tab and slot normally
line up, then it's probably jammed and tougher to move or remove.  You
should be able to see the washer through the end hole in the casing after
removing the layshaft which you already have out.  You might be able to move
the washer with a small screwdriver or ice pick tool.  Try to get the whole
assembly square so the gear isn't cocked which would jam it further.  It has
to slide out evenly at both ends.  If you have a new washer, you can see the
anti-rotation tab I'm referring to.

Mike,

How do I get that rear washer to drop out?
