You were right. Actually there are two plungers on the 3-4 hub assembly. I
put each on a spline that had notch.
It shifts very stiffly but I hope that improves when the engine is running.

You installed the 3/4 sliding hub in the wrong position on the main shaft.
There is a small plunger inside the gear that goes into a notch in the main
shaft. If the gear is installed in the wrong position it will not go into
high gear.
You will need to strip the transmission to take the 3/4 sliding hub off the
main shaft and install in the correct position.

The good news. The drive train is back together ( bell housing, gear box,
and OD), filled with oil. No leaks.
The bad news. I cant shift into 4th gear. All other shifts work well but
the 4th 3rd selector fork moves only < forward and then seems to hit
something. Rotating the input shaft doesnt help.
I really dont want to take this all apart again.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated,
