Matt,
So if one were to be using internals from say a 1211 aluminum rear to put into the cast iron rear. Then the carrier assembly is all that needs swapped, not the pinion ? If so,this is good news. Then as long as the shims are kept in the same places, it should be easy. I would still check the gear mesh to be sure, but it should ( set it self ) so to say, if the pinion gear does not need changed.

Does this sound right ?

Also were can I download/copy the manual for this ?


Thanks JOE
