It was jumping out of high gear, So I took of the shifter cover assembly and there was about 1/16" to 1/18" we wear on the shifting fork. Had it welded and machine, instulled it three times and have the same problem put it in reverse ant it binds up but it seams to work in second and third and then can't get neutral. Need help thanks

Maybe not getting the first & reverse fork in right. Put the gears in neutral and the side cover in neutral. carefully slid the cover on, watching to make sure both forks are in there grove.

There is a grove for it. If the side cover and the transmission are both in neutral it should line up together.
