Default Final drive gear is too big to fit the countershaft bearing retainer.


There is no area left for the retainer to grab onto, this is a mfactory 3.471 final drive. I'm using a gear x 3-5 close set so I needed the long final drive to ensure I have enough 5th gear for the straightaway at mosport raceway. So will the bearing walk out of the case? What do?

Install the retainer. The FD will sit higher when seated into the snap ring.

Thanks, I had it in and there was binding, I wasn't sure if it was hitting just there but I know the gear x 4th gear i just installed was hitting the case so I ground the case down and then cleaned it. I will test fit it tomorrow.

It is definitely a much larger OD than any of the OEM FD's but it should clear the bolt/retainer clip without issue. It will clear the retaining plate underneath once its seated in the snap ring.
