280zx manual transmission issues

I think that the purpose is to "pause" or "check" the striking rod when you're pulling down from 5th gear.  If you've used an older model 5 speed you know that it's super easy to drop in to R from 5th, there's no check sleeve.  It only fits two ways and pops in an out.  Install it, try the 5th to 4th shift, if it's too easy or binds up, flip it.  You can try it out before you re-install the transmission.  You might find that it only works one way.

 

Or you can stare at the striking rod and the check sleeve and logic it out.  It might be obvious.  I've looked myself. but I didn't put the time or thought in to it.

 

If it makes no sense, I have an 83 in the garage I could take a look at.

Ok I think I figured it out... the flat tab thingy goes on the top. This makes it so you cant go from 5 to reverse but you can go from 5-4... but you can unlock reverse from neutral a wiggle and down to reverse...
