[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 452258, member: 10811"] I haven't been in one of these honestly. Some others have shims that you use and you check the end play on the shaft and either shim behind the gears or the bearings to get proper clearances. If you have a factory service manual it would give detailed instructions on the assembly of what you are asking about and you could get your information. Personally I would go that route. I would get a manual and see exactly how it was assembled. If it does show that it does uses shimming to get clearances on those gears then yes, I would most certainly tear into it prior to waiting for it to disintegrate. You most likely would have many parts that would be salvageable instead of waiting for it to fail. [/QUOTE]
