CAUTION: Make sure to fit the lock pin at the end of the reverse idler gear assembly into the groove in the clutch housing.
Move the reverse idler gear assembly so that its parts fit into the spaces between the housing and the partially inserted shaft assemblies, and then insert the three assemblies together into the clutch housing.
