The forks may have not been set properly if the top cover was off...

In the picture you are showing , the transmission is not in 1st gear . Sounds like it might have been put together incorrectly . Where did you get the transmission from ?

i bought it from a guy that said he had it rebuilt but i guess not.

so i have givven up on it and its out of the God D***car and i put the old one back in. i guess i can keep skipping 2nd for a while......POFS...

so how does the top cover come off? i have the tranny split in 2 but i cant pull it any further cause the top cover is in the way but i ant pull the top cover up beause its attached to the tail end via 'shifter shaft'
