i cant put it back together. im having trouble. i have the gears installed into the rear housing, then when i go to put middle housing on, i cant get the fork around under the couter shaft gears to go onto the high/low gear

I've rebuilt dozens of sierra cases, and installed gears of different ratios, and I've never had to remove the shifter rods from the front housing. There are no seals or O-rings in their assembly, only detent balls, which can be a PITA to re-fit.

Lift the idler gear and the input gear up a little. The bearing at the base of the input gear will re-seat itself, as will the idler gear if you give it a little turn so they mesh together. Its an arkward motion, but it does work I assure you.

ive got the detent ball out off the case. it slides almost out and then gets cour about a inch from the end,

scorpydue, im 2hrs north of brisbane so pretty far. thanks for the offer though

Dont hit cast iron to hard

Wasn't selector either I smashed the teeth off the spline that te circlip goes into to hold the front output shaft sliding cog thing, also decked the thread on the end of the shaft

Well I do need another case or either two new shaft. I'm I rough barsted and destroyed the rear out put and the front input shaft threads. Me being dogy tried cuting thread back to fix up but made a mess I new two new nuts aswell.
Every thing is good asides two shafts and two nuts.

Don't mine if you have two used shaft or one.
Yea I'll order new nuts.
