The Ford Barn - View Single Post - tranny top----need help

If ether one of the shifting forks are bent slightly they won't engage the slots. I have seen this problem before during club seminars where we rebuilt about 20 towers each time. The forks can become bent due to aggressive shifting and remain serviceable until the tower is removed and then they spring out of position.

I made a simple tool to check alignment before we have a bunch of forks welded up and milled for a seminar.
