I was able to resolve the problem with my transmission being stiff to shift
into 2nd gear.  The end float on the mainshaft was too wide.  I thought I had
it correct when I reassembled but something went wrong somewhere.  I installed
a thicker adjustment washer and wound up with .005" (the book gives .003 to
.009) of end float.  Reassembled and it shifts great.
