checked that, all the balls were in the correct pattern:
D=pin
O=check ball
(pppp)= pin inside shaft 2
Bolt. [//////////////////]DDDDDDDD O shaft1 DDDDD O (pppp) shaft2 O O shaft3
Here's a pic of the holes for your shift-shafts, and you can see the paths the check balls sit in.
Also I can move each shift fork with my hands through each gear 1,2 + 5+rev are easy, 3rd and 4th are a bit tougher but i can still get all the shafts to go down and up.
