That is a good question for "Herm The Overdrive Guy". I would drop him an email or, see if you can call him. The specification for max end play as it...

Ok, thanks, I don't know why I was thinking it would be different. If you think it's worth tearing apart to tighten it up, I'll get some shims...

It should be a direct correlation. If you have .007" - .008", you are looking for a .005" shim.

Thank you, so the shims that were in it before that I removed, one is 0.015" the other is 0.025" thick. Am I right in thinking that if I add...

Unfortunately there are no specifications for the end play. Suffice it to say it cant be tight or too loose. I use .002" to .005" because that is...

Transfer case installed, no gear on the main shaft. The endplay is between 0.007-0.008" seems a little too much?

The funny thing on that shaft is it was not the same number as what KW Parts shows. I'm sure that there might have been some number changes through...

What is the end play with the trans assembled and the rear bearing retained 56'? The second gear collar slides forward and pops into the detents. If...

I got the transmission assembled. Thought everything was good, but I wanted to make sure 2nd gear was engaged completely. So installed the shifter,...

Well done '56. Ingenuity at its finest!

Looking great 56'! Using the old shaft as a bearing guide was a perfect solution.

Everything is good so far! Not a lot done, but it's a start. I got all the needle bearings packed onto the counter shaft and installed it along...

Thanks, guys. I know it is not an exhaust hanger because I've known this Jeep virtually all of its existence and it never had a side mounted exhaust...

Thanks mate, I wanted to make sure it was okay to reuse the bearing. Hopefully I can start assembly today!!

You will need to put it together and check it for end play. With a new spacer and bearings it may not need shims. Add shims if it has too much end...

So should I keep those thin spacers that someone added? Or try it and maybe the new bearings will fix whatever issue led to adding those shims?...

I have an electric motor conversion that came on our wagon, but do not know the history of where it came from. We purchased the wagon in the '80s,...

We had an M38/CJ3A that had a set of Ranchos non-adjustable shocks installed. It rode pretty descent as they were, but to be able to dial them in...

To me, the stencil looks like an auto recycler or aftermarket stencil. Ponderous.

I third the exhaust hanger thought. I can't think of anything else it could have been for.

Adding leafs are a good and common way to add load capacity. Larger diameter shock pistons will help control the extra weight.
