Hi,
I started pulling apart my 465 today. Is there a trick to getting the top plate/cover off. I tried popping it off like most sticks but it doesn't seem like the shift forks want to pull off the syncros? I can only lift it up about 1"

Honestly I forget, but I think it needs to be in reverse....???? Bad memory today!

Yes, the big Book says, "Move reverse shifter fork so that reverse idler gear is partially engaged before attempting to remove cover. Forks must be positioned so rear edge of the slot in the reverse fork is in line with the front edge of the slot in the forward forks as viewed through tower opening."

Shifter needs to be about half way in to reverse to get the top off.
