"Hey yall,
I have the lower gear house apart. I have new bearings, seals and gears. I am preparing the housing and getting ready to assemble. I have a question about the thrust ring that fits between the bearing carrier and the reverse gear. The ring I removed is slightly curved. Is this normal or do I need to repalce this item? A thrust ring replacement did not come in any of the rebuild kits. There is also the concern about wear being that it is a thrust ring. Other than the curved shape the ring does not appear to be worn and mic's out even across the board.
On another note to follow up. We discussed in the last few months how to tell if the unit was MC-1. There was something posted about the driven shaft lower bearing having x number of needles in the bearing. The one removed had 14 as does the replacement. FYI
