Just swapped the ring gear with a ZC ring gear on the SI diff so I can use oem axles with my ZC tranny and now it’s binding on whatever that part is called, first time doing a transmission and it’s been great up to this point, please help

 

Install the ring gear upside down? They are offset to one side.

 

oh are they?, that sounds like what it would be, gonna try it now, thought they were the same

 

If that is flipped up the ring gear will hit it. Once the shift forks are installed, it won't be flipped up.

 

Is the bolt missing from the shift change piece to the shaft ? This would hold it closer to the case edge and thus would move it away from the ring gear so it would not make contact.
