I putting my b series tranny back together and cant get the snap ring back in the groove what do i do????

Need help quick all ready put silicon on

 

It is quite difficult. Are you using good snap ring pliers?

 

ya its as if the shaft isn't long enough cuz the main shaft is all the way in\

i don't know whats going on?

 

It' has been a while since I did this. Are the cases seated together yet? I recall having issues with the shift rods finding their holes. Also, is part 11 on the main shaft oriented properly?

 

ya also had problems with shift rods, (and part eleven) but got everything in its place and yes the case is seated

 

Have you tried inverting the transmission to move the counter shaft towards the snap ring? I do recall this issue with my transmission.

Be sure to test spin the transmision in all gears before installing it.

 

I'll go try now, let you know if it worked
