What gear are you not able to hit?
It should be possible to change all gears, but one has to continually rotate the shafts to accomplish that (usually via countershaft)*. A straight on pic of the shifter pawl/star might confirm adjustment.
*visualize, if you will, the dogs on the sliders having to come into alignment before the gear change will take place and the shaft must often rotate to get that alignment

That good to go without oil pressure in transmission etc?
When I built my ‘76 I couldn’t get it to drop into 1st it would run through the other gears but not drop down. I was advised by another member that was normal. Once I started it there was no issue. It dropped right in. Like JPD mentioned these trans gears love movement.

Thats what I'm thinking too Winged. Thanks for that. Don't see any need to crack her open at this stage.
At the least put a sprocket on the output shaft ,and rock it as you shift.

Thanks Gary - did that as well. Still tough to tell clearly five gears as opposed to 4 plus neutral?? Think I'm good everything fit together quite well.

Pic shows the star riding over the lever not in it

Not sure I'm following you Skull. Doesn't the lever shift gears by interacting with the studs behind the star? Have I got that wrong?

Disregard, Pahl's book makes it clear. Contact with pins is correct.
That makes a handy list. Printed it landscape and it will reside in my shop manual. Thanks

New issue. Bottom end is complete as previously described BUT it seems that I have a spacer left over that defies a place to live. Best I can tell it is a 90201-25290-00 which is identified by matching to the same one used in the kick start and the clutch. Heres my question. The attached manual shows the spacer as used in the kick start mechanism. To the right it has a number 2 under each column described as A, B & C. who can tell me what that number 2 represents? Is it suggesting 2 spacers are required at that location because that's not what is shown in the diagram.
Thanks team,

Partzilla does have a 2 in the quantity column also.

Thanks G's. In your opinion does that suggest 2 spacers in the number 10 position in the diagram? Why wouldn't they show 2 spacers?
Up to two spacers may be needed? Dunno. Part #7 a spacer is also marked quan, of two.
Add washers til it doesn't slop around too much I guess. That kicker can have bit of the old (in, out) on some motors.

I'll take a stab here....
Just checked an engine that's been minimally molested. Near as I can tell, there's 2 shims. One goes just under the circlip and the other on the outside of it between the clip and the side cover. Just about all I've seen are set up that way. So my guess is the 2 in the quantity column is correct, but the drawing doesn't show the second shim.
