Yeah, it's all installed and runs great. The only issue I have is with the center diff layshaft. I am constantly fixing the connection between it and the gear shaft. The grub nut is always loosening. I have used red threadlock but it still comes loose. Any ideas?
 
Are you cleaning the threads on the part and the grub screw? I use brake clean to remove the old locitite. Just to make sure, you have to "shake" your loctite before you use it. Good luck.

This is where you need the newer XB/XT plate because it has duel bearing support on the D shaft. LMAO. Can't win can ya. Well if I get my dam tranny out sometime, it has duel 24mm bearing support on the D shaft and 24/28mm bearings on the A, B/C shafts.

You killin' me!! I need a fix soon! :D
 
I'll see if Ol Fart is interested in machining an alloy plate for the stock setup. The alloy plate I'm coming out with only works with the belt drive and 2 speed. The only thing I need to do to make it work with the current setup is move the center bearing supports back to the stock position.


Chances are he won't bother since he doesn't run a gasser and I'm about to turn the old gear drive into a dinosaur.
