Sure, I will do that next monday. I brought my calipers last time and
the guy
said that the gear set ( the carrier and the six planetary  or pinion
gears)
would swap right over in place of the C-6 gearset. Here's where I make
an ass
of myself. I ASSumed that it fit into the ring gear, but if so, the sun
gear
must be smaller? for the higher ratio gearset than the C-6 gears if they
do
in fact both fit into the same ring gear.

Tracy, you mentioned that you were hoping that the gearset would swap
over.
Are you looking for a higher ratio for a specific purpose or just to be
able
to have the option without re-tooling your PSRU?  Sorry to have put out
the
information half cocked. I''ll get all the dimensions straightened out
next
monday.

I'm happy with the old ratio (2.176 - 1) but would like to get a six pinion
planet carrier that would interchange with the C6 rear planet carrier.  Note
that the front carrier is different,
