Have you changed the linkage adjustment. When i put mine back together I was off a little on the shift gate and it was a little more difficult to feel the reverse spring
I ran the front up on a set of ramps. then secured front tires to ramps to insure car will not roll back down. I then jacked up th back and placed the stands under the frame just inside the front hanger brackets for the rear springs
OK. I need some help. I was changing the rear axle seals (12 bolt posi). I am in the process of putting it back together when I see one of the thrust washers has fallen out from behind the spider gear. Is there a trick to sliding it back in behind the gear without messing the washer?
