    I guess you need to give us a little more information. Did you split the cases to rebuild your bottom end?

    Notice the thickness of gasket...
    So when i rebuild my - i was using sealant (as usually do this parts), but the clearance between parts on photo goes way small, and gears stopped shifting.
    So next step - i trim a little bit from side cover, to compensate gasket thickness, and to use sealant. You can just use new gasket. But i trim it, to forget it)

    That's a side cover gasket and I doubt it make much difference.

    Did you loose a shim on the end of the transmission shaft, or put the shift forks in backwards

    You have to take it apart and reassemble W/O the crank in and make sure it shifts before you put the crank in.

    If it shifted before it will shift again.
