Darn 706 is at it again.....

Well, brother and I are now experts at taking the top cover of the tranny on his 706. This is the same tractor that would not stay in high gear. We found the problem a while ago, or so we though, which was a wore shift fork for the Hi/Lo. Replaced that with a used but in excellent condition shift fork. Worked well for about 3 weeks, then starting popping out of high when the clutch was released. Opened it up again last night. My question: the shift coupler that slides onto the reduction gear (for low) and the direct drive (for High) seems to be wider (about an 1/8th inch) on the side nearest the "Lo" (toward the rear of the tractor) than the "High" side (toward the front of the tractor. We think this tractor was split before we got it, and we were wondering if this coupler could have been put in backwards. It seems to make sense because when shifted into high the coupler still has about an 1/8th to 1/4" room to slide forward on the direct drive gear. Any advice how to fix this one? Will the tractor have to be split to switch around the coupler? This is the most frustrating tractor!
