Shift fork springs order

[pnikas]

Hello everybody, I have seen many pics of the parts that consist rhe spring and balls that locate the shift forks when not in gear.
I haven't seen though the order in which they are installed. The main concern is the oval part of the assembly , thanks a Lot in advance .

There will be 4 different items for the shift fork assembly. You will have springs, pins, a peanut and a spherical ball. Here is the order of assembly. I always invert the transaxle when doing this, just makes life easy.
1) Install shift fork for 4/5 gear through intermediate plate
2) Then drop in a spherical ball
3) Then drop in skinny tightly would spring with small rod inside
4)Then drop in another spherical ball
5) Then slide shift rod from 2/3 gear
6)Then drop in peanut
7)Then shift rod for 1/reverse
8) Then spherical ball followed by another spring
9) Screw in retaining bolt WITH NEW WASHER so it dosen’t leak.
