Tail shaft gaskets

[effvee]

Hi, again thank you very much for sharing your insight. But in my case, I have the nose cone off. I tried to remove the shift guide from the side cover. something is differently engaged and it won't allow the assembly to disengage. The side plate sort of titer totter, but won't release the engagement; if this make sense. I also note that I can't shift the tail shaft shift rod into any gear. It must be some gear range or shifter position in order for it to disengage.
