I had to take my transmission apart because I lost 3-4 gear. Now it's apart and the 3-4 shift rail was bent and seized up so it wouldn't rotate more than 10 degrees and without a lot of resistance.
I got the rail out by sticking a pick through the hole for the roll pin and twisting back and forth. I figured out what bound it up in the first place. There is a small imperfection at the bottom of the hole that the end of the rail goes into. This gouged the rail as I forcefully removed it and then the rail scratched the sides of the hole.
The hole is apart of the transmission case and I'm hesitant to assemble it again now that the side of the hole is scratched which can be caught easily with my fingernail. I definitely need to find a way to grind down the imperfection. Not sure how I'll do that.
Opinions?
