89 5spd top plate?
I think I might of made a bad move. Recently I replaced my 5-speed transmission. I took the top inspection plate off, just to see if it was any good. After I installed the transmission into the truck, I realized that I didn't put the two inner forks back in the right position.
The transmission is in neutral, but the gear shift feels like it is between first and neutral. Is there a easy way to fix this without spending six hours pulling the transmission back out??? Even if I had it out, it seems to be difficult to line them back up. I still have the old one, an I can't really figure that one out either.
Thanks in advanced!!!

You're gonna have to pull the top plate again. Luckily, you can do it from the cab. pull back the carpet and there's an access panel you can remove. you can get the top cover off thru there. then, you just have to line everything back up correctly and you should be good to go.
