Oh yeah, the best way to put the end cover back on and still hold all the peices for reverse in place is...grease...

The washer (with the cutout), slather it with grease and stick it to the intermediate plate. It will hold fine. Now slather the shaft in the tail cover with grease and put all the reverse gears together and they will stick together. slide the cover forward and get the reverse shaft into the washer and the hole in the internmediate plate. The cover will close with a few hammer taps. I hope you put the gasket on first.

Always always always fill the tranny with plain old gear oil ($6.99) on the first change. This way, if there is a leak or a problem, you have not wasted $40 in gear oil. Put the more expensive stuff in (if you plan to) when you do the first change.
