I'm assembling the mainshaft and realized that I can spin first and second gear but not third gear. Turns out that the synchronizer hub (3-4 synchro) rubs against the front of the third gear cone once I put the snap ring in place and prevents the gear from turning freely.
How much clearance should I have there?
All snap rings I have are the same thickness..
Should I try to grind down the hub or front of gear cone or file the snap ring a bit to get a few thousands clearance?
Here's a pic (you can see that the front of the gear cone has touched the synchro hub as the black coating was rubbed off). Synchro shows the side that is oriented towards third gear.
Or should I just run it and the gears will wear in?
Another question: am I missing a wire ring in my input shaft (there is one in place but should there be a second one further down as there is a groove)? Or a washer? The rollers are way loose (lots of fore/after movement) or am I using the wrong rollers (see pic - I think the shorter ones are correct - longer ones don't fit - they are from the cluster gear)?
I have Passon's A833 book and it only mentions that the snap ring needs to be in place...
