The 4^th gear sliding sleeve (1 in picture 1) and the guide sleeve (2 in picture 1) were modified to prevent the 4^th gear from moving back into the neutral position while driving.

The groove around the inside of the sliding sleeve has been omitted. Instead, three pockets are machined on the inside of the sleeve. Also, the new guide sleeve is coated with a sliding lubricant.
