Default shifter rebuild

I took my shifter all apart and cleaned it up pretty good. Before I took it apart I found a site where they had video of taking apart, cleaning and reassembling.
Seeing as it was on video stupid me just took it apart and didn't take pictures of the order of where the washers and levers go. I viewed the video and it showed the 3 and 4 speed but the 3 speed is not the same as mine. There is two washer in particular that I don't know where they go. I have added 3 photos of the parts if there is someone out there that can help me put it back together in the right order

ok

1. the rod goes in first from the back side

2. the long arm goes on. i'm not sure if it goes on the way it lays or if you need to flip it over.

3. the shorter arm on the left goes on just how it lays.

4. the washer with the lip goes on.

5. the cover goes on.

6. the spring gies on big end first.

7. the flat washer goes on.

8. the circlip goes on.

example

Hi Barnett thanks for the response but I cant get the washer with the lip in where the levers go as it will not allow the bracket to bolt on nor will it allow the bolt shaft to go all the way through to the other side. Any other suggestions

ok maybe i lied, lol.

does the lip on the washer fit in the thin metal bracket that bolts on to the housing?

does it fit in the housing?

does it fit in the thin bracket but takes up so much room that the bracket is no longer flush and it might bend if you tighten it down?

it should slide all the way down the shaft. are you saying it does not?

if not, then why not?

Hi Barn,
The lip on the washer does not go into the bracket and the bracket would bend if it was bolted on. Its funny I just can't figure it out. I broke down and bought a used one on ebay. This time when I take it apart to clean it I will photo every part before taking it apart. I really appreciate your help...
