last week I broke the clutch shaft pin that joins the shaft to the fork in
the bell-housing.  No roblem,  I have another pin, Shaft, & fork.  I take
the transmission out,  remove the fork, shaft & pin, replaced them with the
spares I have that are in better condition, play with the over-drive
settings and put it back in the car.    all went as smoothly as it ever
does.  When I attached the slave cylinder I put the shaft in the center hole
of the clutch shaft 'drop-arm'.   Wired it up, put the seats back in and
started the engine. That all happened tonight

When I tried to back it out of the shop,the reverse didn't seem to engage
entirely.  the stick went into reverse, but when i let out on the cluch i
just crawled backwards.  no real engagement.   All the forward gears seem to
work fine.

Question...Would the hole in the 'drop arm' make a difference here?

What else could it be?  the reverse gear was working fine when I removed it
last week...

Thanks for your help...
