After watching Dr. Evils DVD half a dozen times I decided to tear down a transmission that had been "rebuilt" for me a few winters ago. After pulling out the gearstack I found that one of the shift fork bolts was loose and attributed that to shifting problems when the tranny was originally installed in the car. Tonight I realigned the sliders and forks and everything appeared to shift smoothly, until I tried 1st.

After engaging 1st gear and spinning the shafts I realized that the slider was binding on the washer under the castellated nut on the pinion shaft (see pictures). Has anyone encountered this before? What might be causing this? At first I though the wrong washer was used, but given the pin in the nut is aligned properly I'm thinking this is not the case. Any thoughts?
