Ring Gear Spacer?
Permalink  
 

Anyone here ever try the ring gear spacers? I have a series 2 carrier (gm 7.5" 10 bolt). I'm switching to 3.73's for the transmission swap (350 to 700r4)

I know I can buy a 'thick' gear set that's available to work in my series 2 carrier.

But I already have a set of 3.73's kicking around and for $35 I can get a spacer ring. $35 vs $300 is a pretty big difference.

It's open diff and I'm not out driving the piss out of it... Are these spacers ok to use?

I machined a spacer for the 12 bolt in our drag car and used it for years. Still have it on the shelf.

No Brainer there Nick

You have the spacer

I pulled that gear set out that I was staching in my loft and it's damaged. There's two chipped teeth on the pinion gear.

Time for Plan B - Who's gotta ford 9" for sale? (just kidding Joe. lol)
