I have another post on this 15014 lower unit but I believe it has become confusing to the reader. I have this lower mated to a 18602. I noticed some screaming from the lower the last time out. Upon inspection the gears look fine but I noticed what could be scoring from the pinion on the lower housing and think it could be the noise. Does this pinion require a washer underneath it to space it away from the housing? I can get one from another lower I believe if needed.One thing of note is this pinion is shorter in comparison to my other 15014 with rusted gears but the other definitely had the washer in place. Thanks-B
 
Bump. I'm going to run it with the washer unless yall think I should do otherwise.Makes sense to me and it is a parts lower,if it makes weird noises then I will shut er down.I will probably have a look after running it hard anyway.
