I didnt get a before picture regrettably, but we are going to start with milling off 1/4" from the end opposite where the shift fork grabs it . There is a recess cut into the end of the input shaft sliding gear...

    Hahah..you are observant! No tricks..just had luck freeing up a couple of engines with this product..but like you said theres always more to jam up besides the rings..cam and lifters are an excellent next step for sure..usually when an engine hangs up there you can get a little backlash on the...
