True Classic
It wouldn't go into 5th because the slider was on upside down too so there were no teeth to help it engage with the gear.I saw that the 5th slider hub was on upside down. I have't tried to assemble one like that so I am not sure what would cause it to "not go into 5th" but there are a whole list of bad results from that.
Not to mention its full of rust.
Re: the excessive RTV Brandon noted. That seems to foretell a lot of surprises once you get inside. The excessive and incorrect RTV demonstrating the builder's lack of knowledge and skill.
I could do a whole thread on Detent Springs.
