Try loosening the side cover without removing it. Then tap it up from the bottom rear area with a hammer. There is an interference fit on the 1-2 lever that will hit the reverse arm sometimes. NOTE: When putting the trans back together, ALWAYS put it in reverse before installing the side cover. After you tap the side cover upwards, try manually shifting it into reverse. If it goes leave it there and tighten the side cover bolts.



would I be able to do this if i have used silicone (permatex the right stuff to be specific) to seal the side cover? I just remembered that I dont have a gasket on there, and if i have to take the side cover off to reseal it then i think getting the cover back on the forks would be a bear

or is it as easy as just tapping it with it loose and not breaking the seal of the silicone? Im guessing im going to have to drain the fluid too
