you know you're having a bad day when...

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Aye, bad bad day.  Too bad I'm not able to take a short holiday Northward.

I have - on one very VERY lucky occassion, with the tranny face down on a bench - to get all the
forks lined back up on the shaft.  But if the tranny is in the car, don't bet on it.  You may try
pulling the reverse light switch and selector shaft to see if you can jigger the forks around that
way.  

G/L,
