The "roundish wire" holds the tabs in place on the selector hub.
Yep, need a new fifth gear set.
I have all that, but for a 1.8. The gearing would be slightly different (lower, which isn't what you want).

I appreciate ya but I already have the gears on hand. I ordered slightly taller diesel gears assuming the splines were bad.
Seems the fluid was low low low!
Looking at other threads the wire looks easy enough. No other threads on these gears missing teeth? I probably just can't find them?
I will button it up tomorrow morning with some cheaper 75w90. Drive 150 miles to steamboat, flush it one more time. Hopefully I can find a new needle bearing. Then put in the g70.

Before you put it all together, do the "5th gear oil mod"
