Default Re: New transmission locks up. Only spins free in neutral. Thoughts?

Is it all bound up?
Yes. The front synchro on the input shaft seems to be locking the rear synchro with the main shaft. The “notches” in the synchro rings are mating with the blocks in the synchro hub. I don't get it for I followed both Mac's and Max's book to the letter.

What the heck is going on?

Taking a closer look at the synchro ring (in a pict above) and the "blocks" from the old synchro assembly I had (side shift box), the blocks of had a slanted end on one side. I'm assuming this was to let the synchro spin. Not sure, just thinking out loud.

All the parts I have the ones mentioned in Mac's book. I'm stepping away from it today and will come back to it on Monday,
