Like the title says, I'm doing a SYE install on my 97 XJ and everything is going fine. Except when I take out the rear shaft and gear set I find these 3 gaps in one of the gears. I assume this is normal, but it appears to have grooves in it like something should go there?



Also I am replacing all the shift fork pads and found something else interesting. The pad kit I bought doesn't have these type of pad in it. It has pads for a different type of shift fork. The Mode fork pads were correct.



Somebody has certainly been in this t-case before. I'm guessing to change the chain as the case has some scarring on it from where the chain was hitting and the chain looks fairly new.

 

Nobody?

 

sorry i cant help but my advice is just keep bumping this thread and some1 who can answer will eventualy find it.

 

I had the three gaps too so its probably fine
