 Tel me how the driver shaft is attached to the sun gear on
 Tracy is pressure fit ,welded or others??
 i still waiting the shipment of gears

 Jean Prudhomme

 Pressure fit and then two welded in 1/4 or 5/16 pins welded
 in 90 degrees apart. He used to use one and Dave Leonard
 broke it with his turbo.

 Dave took somes photos of broken sun gear shaft and do you have more clearly
 photos showing the shaft attached to the gear


 Jean Prudhomme

Paul I receive all the gears components but i guess i do have the wrong sun gear for this application it fit on the planet but if i look yous is all the same outside diameter and i guess it,s a weak point at the big groove
I do have the Slauson catalogue, could tell me which part number it can be

Jean Prudhomme

I don't have the catalog here. I'll be home in a couple
of days. That looks like the right part. If it does not fit
You may have the wrong planet carrier.

Grind or cut off the teeth on the end you don't use.
The weak point is not the groove. It is always the root
of the tooth.
