Side gear cover question

[ProStangRacing]

I just ordered a 35t and a 25t gear set to get more top end out of my XT, my question is: Will the stock gear cover clear the gear if I have 35t on the clutch bell shaft or am I gonna not gonna have the clearance ?

i think you'll be fine in clearance. whew, you're gonna run 35/25?

Should be ok,if not just run with out the gear cover.

It will fit. I never ran the cover with the gears.

Yeah sir, my XT already goes sideways when you flat punch the throttle with torque so I think it'll have no real power loss. I'm currently running a 31t on the bell and 29 on the idler. I figure with the Jetpro , 8k clutch and the WT997 carb she makes enough power to make the 35t and 25t combo work. I am running my XT on the beach sometimes so I want to keep the cover on it to keep sand out of the gears. Thanks for the info guys!
