Lots of parts waiting to go to their new home. Time to get these all cleaned up.
Cosmoline is good stuff. Parts are brand new underneath. Crazy to think these parts have been wrapped up since the 50's so they could finally find their way to my garage.

I saved the cosmoline off the parts in a small container in case I want to preserve something for long-term storage in the future.

Using brake clean to get the majority of the cosmoline removed.
Then a trip through the ultrasonic cleaner, it does a great job at removing all the cosmoline from the nooks and crannies.

Time to assemble the shift tower.
Installing the shift indent ball and spring on the first gear shift rail. The spring goes into the hole then the ball bearing. the ball sits into the indents machined into the shift rail.

Here I'm using a punch to compress the ball/spring so I can slide the shift rail into the shift tower.
First gear shift rail & shift fork installed.
Ran into a problem here, I tried to order as many NOS parts as possible but somehow ordered a "new" 2nd/3rd shift fork instead of NOS. Apparently this unit is a Made in India unit and the hole is drilled off center, it's also under sized so it wont even slide onto the shaft. This part is heading back and a NOS unit is now on order. No more work on the shift tower today, time to put all this in a bag and move on to another project while I wait for parts.
Original shift fork.
And the crappy "new" part.
