Re: TRANSMISSION SNAP RING.. (carlosd68)
are you talking about the c-clip for the countershaft? i don't see how it would even go back together if you forgot that...are you sure that you don't have a bad input shaft bearing or something? when does the whining noise happen...chances are if you cleaned the case out with brake cleaner and sprayed the bearings out you might have ruined them.

You could *try* hitting it on the outside really hard with a hammer. You could theoretically take the tranny off and drop it on the ground (clutch housing facing up) and it should snap into place.

that will only work if he has the snap ring spread around the lip of the bearing.
the noise is probably countershaft 1st gear hitting the final drive ring gear on the diff, hopefully it's not the bearings.
you can TRY to take the cap off, get your snap ring pliers (or flatheads) to spread the clip and then somehow pull on the NUT, not the bearing to get it to lock into place.
good luck, you're going to need it.
of if you want to get REAL technical, you can figure out the torsial thrust that the helical gears have. put the car in gear, spread the clip and then turn both wheels and it should "encourage" the countershaft to walk into place. I suggest putting it in 2nd gear. push the wheels forward or reverse, this is going to be a tricky answer, i need to look at some pics

pull cap off to get to snap ring, spread c-clip, put it in 2nd gear, turn both wheels in reverse at the same time.
if you cant spread the clip and turn both wheels at once, you may need to put vice grips on the brake caliper hose for the driverside front wheel. and have a buddy hold the brakes to lock the pass side axle.
if you get it to lock in place, flush your trans fluid, then paypal me $25

Re: (carlosd68)
I'm sort of curious - how did you even get the tranny halves back together if you didn't seat the snap ring to begin with??
It's been quite awhile since I replaced the ISB in mine, but I sort of remember not being able to get things back together until the snap ring was seated.

you can fix your trannys snap ring with the tranny in the car. Take the plug off to get to the clip... Take a flathead screw driver and put it Under the nutt.. and try to pry the shaft UP or Toward you.. You should here hear the c ring clip snap and then your all set... its really easy
