SM465 inspection help

I have a SM465 4 speed trans I'd like to remove the top cover and check out the internals.
Is there a specific gear I have to have the trans in so the cover will come off?

It has to be halfway into reverse in order for the reverse shift fork to clear the gears on the main shaft.

Re: SM465 inspection help

why do you need to check the internals?

Thanks Blazer!
I figured there was some position or sequence to getting the cover off.

Curiosity more than anything right now, but if I decide to use this trans or sell it I feel more comfortable at least knowing what it looks like inside.
