Default T56 Countershaft Extension Assembly woes

I'm a new member to the forum, but not new to the forum... I've been reading posts long before I got my Vette and it has been an incredible source of information. I figured it was time to get a little more involved and I plan to actually contribute to the forum with one of my custom mods once this project is complete.

Anyways, I ran into a snag while rebuilding my 2005 T56 Z51 transmission. I had all my parts organized and labeled, but when I came back from a trip SOMEONE EVIL in my house (not saying any names) had thrown everything in a box. I am trying to assemble the Countershaft Extension and I can't remember which two spacers go on either side of the needle bearing for 6th gear.
Can someone label where each of these needle bearings goes, where each spacer goes and where both of the thrust washers go?


Thank you in advance.

should be the really thin 1 between the countershaft and the countershaft extension.


the 2 thick ones will go above and below a bearing - should be yellow with rollers and go on the main shaft

i'm having a old person moment on the rest of them....gimmie a min and I will have that for you as well....I do T56s all the time but my brain is just kinda burnt lately from stress.

You just saved my whole project, thank you for taking the time to do this. Once I button this girl back together I'd like to drive over and buy you a beer sir!
