Finally time to put it back together - fingers crossed

Hi all, I bought an MK Indy 6 weeks or so ago with a 954 fireblade engine. Four days after getting the car it developed a fault where it would jump out of fourth, hit a false neutral and then fall into third. I removed the engine from the car, split the cases and it was quite obvious where the issues were. Anyway, after a five week wait, a small fortune and a good deal of time spent thinking 'I hope this goes back together the way it came apart' the parts finally arrived yesterday. I'm hoping to have the engine built up by Sunday and back in the car by the middle of next week.... Wish me luck?!

What was wrong with the gearbox ?

The centre shift fork had snapped, damage to the drum and the third/fourth main shaft gear and two countershaft gears had very worn dogs and lands so I'm replacing the three gears, needle bearing, shift drum, three shift forks and thrust washers on the main shaft and countershaft
