I'm going though a 231 tonight and there's plastic ' spacer' or 'washer' inbetween the gears in the front of the case by the planiatary gears.

question is does this need to be there? It came out in pieces and was wondering if I put the case back together w/o this spacer would I be okay or do I need to get a new one.

I'm thinking that it was there for a reason, but then again so are the bearing that you don't use when doing a sye.

Wish I could help you but I never got any help figuring out my TC probs. Good Luck. If you need extra parts I have 1 1/2 cases in my garage. 2 or 3 extra of everything.

This was my reply on the other board:

"As far as I know you can throw it back together without it as long as you don't put a load on it. In other words it'll be a over acheiving paperweight."


I havn't heard from him since. I'm wondering if he just read the first sentence and took off out the the garage to slap it back together.

I mean, what does he think?

that the part was in there for good looks and sex appeal?

It's not my freakin case, I was helping a friend replace his chain and I opened a whole new can of worms, it set's on my bench in a zillion pieces, and Scott, I did believe you, I just posted twice cuz MJ sometimes gives bunk info, not from you of course, but you know. I didn't get back with you cuz I felt that a bunch of beers would be a better thing to do on a friday night then wrench on someone elses junk.

And yes, I thought it was quite the sexy little piece of plastic.

So, to end this post, I went wheelin today and you didn't, :flipoff:
