Re: 94 Metro 5 Speed Manual Transmission Rebuild

I have to give kudos for the great walk-through on the rebuild process. I have a 96 Geo Metro and started the rebuild in early July '14. I wanted to pass on some info of one problem I ran into once I had the transmission mounted in-car and hooking up the shift lever. When I hooked it up, I wasn't able to obtain the three legged H shift pattern with the lever. I got this sinking feeling because I thought I was going to have to dismount the tranny and tear it all apart and start over. Long story, in short the shift yoke was backward. Look at post #14 of the assembly process. The 4th pic down has the bend facing back toward the oil seal, BAD COOKIES!, that bend needs to be facing opposite of the oil seal, otherwise the geometry of the whole linkage interferes with the differential gear and you won't be able to shift into 5th/reverse. I'm hoping this will save someone some heartache.
