Tom, I  did not compensate for the difference in the cover. At the time that
I did  the rebuild on the tranny I did not realize that there was a
difference in  cases.




Tim - I installed a big-car Saginaw side cover and a Hurst shifter with  
long connector tubes into my Stinger about 30 years ago. I recall that I did  
have to use the shift forks from the big car trans and that I had to put a 
Grade  8 washer over the end before inserting it into the side-cover. This 
pushes the  fork into the trans far enough to contact in the middle of the 
synchro.  This might, indeed, be your problem.
