We all know the feeling! I tend to start "collecting parts" long before I do the rebuilds. The parts that I pay the most attention too are the mainshaft and the cluster shaft - I try to find the best ones I can. If I have to install a used mainshaft, then I make sure there is very little wear on the bearing surface - hopefully none.
I do believe that having a precision fitment on second gear (bushing to main shaft clearance) is one of the important "tricks" to helping 2nd gear stay in gear, but that is a hunch that Charlie NY and I share. Most of the guys on the site share information - we are all trying to rebuild the best transmissions in the best ways possible and nobody can claim to know all the secrets.
