Re: BALLS AND SPRINGS vs BLOCKS AND CLIPS
It sounds like you have a slight mismatch in your parts. The synchro hub with the 3 balls & springs goes on the 81A-7061 mainshaft (the one with the little pin sticking out just in front of the spiral splines).
The synchro hub that has no holes for the balls & springs (takes the three inserts with bumps and two wire springs) is longer thru its length, and is meant to be used with the 51A-7061 mainshaft (no pin).
As a side note, you can use the later style insert kit (3 inserts with bumps and 2 wire springs) on the earlier style hub ( the type that used the 3 balls & springs and the inserts with the holes in their center.
This is pictured clearly in our transmission book.
