Hey guys I have a 90 GST trans that I took apart to put a lsd insert in the diff. Everything came apart with ease and went back together just as well until I went to install the end cover. Everything is assembled and torqued and two new shaft locknuts.
Without the end cover on each gear engages fine. With the end cover installed I can't engage fifth gear. I tried reinstalling it with fifth engaged and once installed it is locked in that gear. I'm noticing there is a bit of a gap before tightening down that I feel is more than normal. I'm out of ideas.
Attached are a couple of pictures to explain what i'm seeing. I'm really hoping somebody sees something i'm missing.
