I'm stumped. I just opened the transmission. I spun the gears. Everything seems to be working. The hi/lo shifted. No broken pieces in the bottom anywhere. Before I pull the guts out is there something else I should be looking for?

Mike is there any cracks or excessive play in the forks?

I just pulled everything  out. The broken tang was stuck to the case in the new gear oil. Before I pulled the guts I turned everthing again and noticed it was shifting into low and gravity was the only thing shifting it into hi. I think I'm all set. It's going back together now.

Oh you can do both. Any chance the detent ball for the hi/lo is a different size. Maybe I mixed them up?

Me too. But for some reason i cant get the second shift rail to go in. It seems the ball is sticking out just a little bit.

The balls are the same.  To get the detente back in between the shift rails, you have to lift the rail that is in so the ball can get into a slot.  Glad to see you found the issue and had a spare.  :occasion-xmas:

@Oldskool

That is exactly how I had it. There was just 1/32 " of that ball that was in the way. It was just being spiteful

Knowing more about the engine/tranny might help someone.

Poor Hiram. He is almost done, but busy season came to soon. Next rain day I hope to get a bunch done. Meanwhile I did find him a friend today though.
