This is an idea I borrowed from Clay and a new spin I added to it. I hate adjusting shift forks and I saw Clay had cut a window in an old transmission case. Most of us are combining the best parts from a couple of boxes or more so there should be extra cases. The window worked great and is easier than the jig that is available. It is more secure and the forks move less. On a side shifter you can install a shift console and test it and watch for interferences.

I added a piece of wood that fit snugly into the slots of the shift rods so they stayed aligned while I tighten the shift forks.
