Here is mine. I've already removed the mainshaft out but forgot to snap a pic and inserted it again, so
that's why 3rd gear looks lop sided. I needed to replace some worn parts and disassembled it.
Note the thickness of the 3-4 slider where the shift fork rides.
M22, here I've replaced my sliders with the new torque thrust sliders.
If you have worn gear engagement teeth (the part that locks into the slider), these sliders will stop the tranny from popping out of gear.
But it's best to replace both the worn gear, slider, 3 slider keys and the lock ring since the tranny is already open. The hub can be reused.

M22 counter gear
If your replacing your needle bearings in the counter gear, I like to use a cut off broom stick so
I can lay it back in the case without any bearings dropping. Then I can slide the counter gear
shaft into the case and counter gear. While you slide the steel shaft in, it will push out the broomstick.

Worn and New Gears and Sliders
Worn M22 engagement teeth. The gear itself would take a lot of punishment to break.
Too bad the engagement teeth wear from slamming into the slider.
