Default t56 shift rail

If anyone happens to have a good picture of how the shift mechanism is set up in the t56 I need it. I forgot to get a picture of that and am now having difficulty putting it back together right. here is a picture of what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

Sorry should have been more specific. I need to know how the two shift rails hook together and how the two forks hook together. I have circled it in this picture. So if you could give me a picture of that and description of how the counter shaft shift rail connects to the main one, and how the main one is put together. Thanks again.

To clarify, that is his trans in the pic.

I set it up as shown, and put the case on. 1-4 worked correctly, and neutral was neutral. I pulled it apart and put RTV on it and I pushed the pin on the center thingy a little more into the fork. As I put it back together it locked the gears up...

Sounds like the rails just fell off during the final assembly.
