Message: [QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1498156, member: 29749"] [b]Bearing Parts Lists, Sources, costs, etc.[/b] Parts list with sources coming. Each bearing and component was logged as to what it was, where it went, and sources. One problem I had was that Allstate Gear lists a 1319 SMK FULL COMPLETE shim kit as for $29. At the time, this was not true. When it arrived, It was missing the counterhshaft shims that go under the countershaft race to properly set pre-load bearing clearance. I called them about this and all I got was "we don't have that". :jawdrop: Yeah, no kidding? That's why I'm calling !!! Maybe they fixed that situation by now, but I doubt it. :biggun: Other than that, Allstate was super in supplying parts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not so angry that I tell them to shove off. But that really freaked me out that there wasn't a countershaft shim kit as advertised on their website. I was in the Marines in the last century (hahahaha) and the first thing they teach you is to "adapt, improvise and overcome." Well, what do to? Aha! I took my old shim which happened to be .051" and reduced it to .041" on my precision surface grinder to meet the pre-load spec that I measured toward the end of my rebuild. (Yeah, I have had time to accumulate some stuff). Eat your heart out. I tried to source a single shim- good luck. I found one in Germany. Pfft!! They only way I could find one in the U.S. was to spend another 129 bones on a full set from another supplier. If you have to change your main case, you [U]must[/U] have this countershaft shim set. Keep that in mind. [/QUOTE]
