Ten years ago we went over to the Mn Wi border and purchased a 92 F150 4X4 with manual transmission and 4.9l engine. Brought it home in a blizzard and had one flat tire on our trailer. Stopped in the service station,who charges .75 for air. It wouldn't blow up the tire (mobile home tires). Any way we got it home and rebuilt the truck (ex mudder). Had the wrong rear end in it,we changed back so the speedometer would work,rebuilt numerous parts, redid the body and repainted it. Made new gas doors,New oil pan ( got rid of the Mexico built one that leaked). Before we started all the repairs we ordered all the factory shop manuals.
Here recently 1st gear kept kicking out,so it's now into the transmission forks. Ordered new ones,thicker and better constructed than original,or at least it looks like it to me. It went from 1/8 inch to 1/4" thick shifter fork plates that engages the gears. Upon disassembling the second shifter fork rod would not come loose. I threatened to take it on our shop press, and it's a good thing I didn't. My son found the problem,all three rails have to be removed, the 2 out side ones hold the key to the center rail removal. You have to have both the outside rods all the way out to remove the middle. Without removing the two outside rails,there is a center type elongated bearing that holds the center on in,until the other two are removed. The shop manual nor the internet we looked for said anything about this.Damn good chance of damaging a part that would cost over $200.00,had it not been for my sons visual inspection and thought process, we would have had a junk top plate,and have to buy new,guessing the cost would be around $200.00-400.00 for a replacement. Anyway we got it back together and it shifts nice and snug,like original new. Should be back together completed by tomorrow. The synchros and gears in the transmission weren't hurt at all.
Was wondering if any of you guys had to replace shifter forks in this type (M5R2) transmission and found out the hard way that there is that cross type shaft bearing? Anyway we do not completely trust even the factory manuals,which never listed that. Pictures are of the original shifter forks and second one is of the transmission gears and synchros.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
