Back to the workbench!
We determined that the motion of the linkage that moves to reverse/5th was limited. Why?
Ah hah! The spring and plastic limiter that keeps you from selecting 6th and 7th gears was installed wrong! A
The linkage resorted, we reassembled the transmission for the last time. We were sure to use plenty of assembly lube to make sure things went together well.
We properly torqued all the fasteners...
And tossed it back in the car. We've gotten really fast at this.
Where... IT WORKED! WE FIXED IT!!! And it cost absolutely nothing!

The transmission worked perfectly at Thunderhill. I never needed 5th, but I used 3rd and 4th a whole lot. The only time it gave me any problem was when I let off the accelerator a little before declutching and loaded up the syncros. It would stick in 3rd then. That gave me an opportunity to employ the little used double clutch technique for shifting from time to time. Which is kind of frustrating if you want to shift quickly.
24th of 152 is pretty darn good for a bunch of monkeys. Nice work on the transmission. Way to go team!
