Installing Counter Weight to Shift Shaft

Looks like you’re going a bit past where it should go. On mine the counterweight is flush with the shift shaft.

The shift shaft appears to be upside down. The notch should be on the bottom. It is possible for all of the internal levers to be installed upside down. The assembly has to be pulled from the transmission, the roll pins knocked out, and the levers flipped over.

That's odd bc MWR sent the shift shaft assembled how it is currently. Just to confirm, is this correct? (upright positions, the side the counter weight is going on, etc.)

It looks like the shaft is assembled correctly, but installed upside down. The circled section below should face downward and engage the shift forks. Note the notch is at the bottom as well

Thanks! That helped out a lot!
However, it seems that after installing it in the correct way and connecting the shift mechanisms on, it doesn't seem to want to move when connected together and with the two shift linkages connecting to the gearbox (shift and select). But when taking the linkages off the mechanism, the gearbox shifter works as it should. Any ideas?

(also moving the counterweight does not make the shaft move nor does it move the rest if the mechanism attached)

-The shift shaft is installed properly and goes in nicely
-Detend is installed on the top
-Shift linkages are connected to mechanism (but one is disconnected in the photo I took).
