I don't have a picture, but if you need a better description, just ask. Remember the shift lever moves LESS distance from neutral to third than it does for any other gear.

I like Tom W's methodology of establishing the "detent point" and comparing it to the "3rd point" rather than my "external" method given in post 4.
And Tom E's description of the function of the two "ears" is correct. Additional shims can be added to make the case edge within 0.005. Somewhere in one of the books is described a "sweep arm" used with a dial indicator to determine distortion as you use and turn the crankshaft as a center.
