M5R2 Forks = M5R1 ?

OK, need more help here,

I think the rebuilt M5OD-R2 transmission I just put in has the wrong shifting forks.
I measured the shifting fork width against the clutch hub sleave groove, book says max gap is .031" shifting forks apear to be new, measures .310 max, groove in sleave measures .385 on rear, .390 on front.

i.e. around .080" which is way outta tolarence.

So, question...

Anyone know what the hub sleave should measure?
Anyone know what the shifting fork should measure?

Does the m5OD-R1 (used in the ranger) have different shifting forks? Could the R1 shifting forks been installed in the R2?

Thanks

The forks are not interchangable at all . I wouldn't worry about the shift forks unless you see alot of wear on the side of the work where they ride in the sleeve .

OK, thanks... I think

This is a brand new re-build trans, the forks show very little rubbing at all... obviously were replaced, all the exploded views or the R1 and R2 that I've seen show that they are very similar. Just trying to second guess what is wrong before I call the transmission rebuilder who is 225 miles away.
