I’m currently rebuilding my fbody t56 due to a couple broken shift keys. Went ahead and put new synchros, bronze shift pads, and billet keys while I had it apart. This is the first trans I’ve rebuilt. I’m having trouble getting my shift forks to align right. I think I have the 3-4 and 1-2 right but the shift forks beside it I can’t get to align. I believe the pin has to be able to slide through to the 5-6 forks also? I’ve attached some pictures. Any help is appreciated

Just pull up on the 5/6/R shift rail to line them up to the interlock plate....the 5/6/R rail does not bottom out in the front plate bushing when everything is lined up in neutral.

thanks a lot, I was thinking it might be that but just wanted to verify before I tried to button the case up. I really appreciate it, I looked online but couldn’t find anything

From a few years ago 1st time I went through one. I messed around for a while getting the rail all lined up. My 5-6 & R forks arent on the interlock plate but everything else is lined up. It got a gearbox level2 kit, new bearings, mainshaft & 5-6 cluster gear Getting the locator pins in is always a challenge even after doing a few

I went through 2 tubes of rtv from having to take my case on and off because I kept knocking it in fourth gear lol. Finally got them lined up
This was the trickiest part of the whole rebuild for me, I know what you mean about the RTV because youll be scraping and cleaning it off each time you dont get it right lol
