Forks in their slots,everything in neutral and park cover on fork pins. Thats how i read it. The heavy grease holds the forks in place on the geartrain.
Getting the forks started in the shift mechanism isn’t the hard part. It’s that last 1/4” that’s the hold up. And the cover is always a tick towards the input shaft. It’s not exactly like its lined up perfectly with the case bolt holes.
