transmission locking

We took the transmission apart to lock it into gear. Simple.
Then we decided that we might as well lock the transmissions out by machining parts as we did for the gear. Not simple.
Taking apart the clutch is not reccomended. We almost had aneurisms trying to deal with them. I did finally machine good parts, put them in there, then realized the final problem, getting everything back together. Getting that black clutch cover back on is hard.
Now that I know there is a simple way, I could just scream.
Aucum's razor: The simplest solution is usually the best.
