I recently changed the pilot bearing, flywheel, clutch & housing on my 88 RX7. Upon reassembly I noticed I cannot access 5th gear and reverse which both on the right side of the shifter. I had a mechnic replace all the rings and gaskets in the shifter but it still will not shift to 5th or reverse. Not sure how or what I /we screwed up when I/we did this job. Any advice would be a great help.

if the linkage is working correctly. then the shifter rail inside the trans has an issue.

If I remove the Trans. will I have to dismantle it to correct the problem or is it something I can correct from the outside ? Any reading or videos I can view ?
