you do not have to split the cases
But you do have to remove the trans again - i do not know how far along you are with that but the shift arm only sits in a pocket in the selector -- we use a majic marker to mark the correct location and that would be at 3 oclock as you look into the trans
hold it at 3 oclock and mark the top of the shaft on the out side of the cases at 12 oclock so once installed you know its in the detent of the shift pawl

the clutch hub and the front sprocket with the chain will need to be put on at the same time or it wont happen - you will also need to lift the chains shoe when you install the set up to get it to slide in
you need the books dude parts and service so when you ask a question its not in the incorrect part of the assembly and answers will make sense

Just thought I'd update success removing that clutch hub via. Construction flatbar and the chain tensioner. . Unfortunetly the chain tensioner suffered some injury but I think he will live after some bending/hammering. Now im on to pulling this damn 4 speed tranny to get my shiftrr in the pawl! Any tips are. Appreciated!

Okay now I know got the shifter in the pawl carrier this time but when I try to turn it to shift gear it wont move! Can I adjust how easy it is to shift by loosening the the spring nut on the outside of the transmission?
Status update: Got tranny back in and shifter working so moving onward to do right side oil pump/timing/ cam etc. While I wait on my clutch hub bearing to come in the mail.
