I’m well into my ’99 Recon rebuild and my transmission checks out completely. As I get to the part about the thrust washers, I know they are supposed to go a certain way as directed in my manual.

The issue I’m having is seeing which side is the chamfered side and which is the flat side. I’ve worked on other bikes and I have been able to feel a sharper edge and a duller edge. I feel no such difference on the thrust washers for the reverse idler.

I’m certain I got the washers on the mainshaft and countershaft on the same way they came off but a part of me wants to take it back apart so I can be sure, real sure. Are you guys using a magnifying glass or something to figure this out?

*edit* Just noticed the splined washers and snap rings have flat side and chamfered side too. Yeah, I need to figure this out…
