[79vette]

I was traveling for the holidays, but I finally got the transmission put back together. Unfortunately, I don't remember how much play the synchros had before I tore it apart. Does this look like a normal amount of movement, and is this the correct sound it should make? I don't remember that rattle, but if the synchros are that loose it must just be that way.

Also, the exploded diagram for the needle roller bearings (10) in the input shaft is confusing. It shows them behind the snap ring (9), but I don't understand how it's possible to install them there. See attached images, do I have this put together correctly with the bearings in front of the snap ring? What is the purpose of the snap ring, since it doesn't come close to touching the bearings?
