I’m going to laugh if as you’re cleaning up your shop after putting everything back in and you find a “mystery part”. In fact, if I knew where you lived I’d probably sneak in and toss some random gear on the floor. 🙂 haha. everything i take off is placed into sequentially numbered bags. My only hiccup was if you have the gear stacks on their side like i did, the layshaft (the gears not connected to the input shaft) can slide forward about an eighth of an inch. There is a shim/thrust bearing race that can (and did) actually become dislodged and move off axis underneath the 6th gear, but you can’t see it. I only noticed it when i was putting the oil pump cover/bearing retainer back on and the shims were causing the input shaft bearing to sit about 1/32 too high. I had to pull it all back apart. But I’ll never make THAT mistake again. It’s going in the car tonight. When i pulled it out, i was unable to get it in reverse by pulling on the linkage. Now i can, and i verified full engagement through the oil pan. The problem should be solved. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fixed-the-sti-transmission-pics-on-post-130/46628)._
