Thanks guys,
The OD of the race has already been nickle plated, so the material is there to work with. Just have to get it to the final size for proper interference fit, which appears to be a light press, maybe a couple of thou. That's where I am at now...
Terry,
You nailed it with that drawing, and I thank you for the detailed reply. You also know exactly how the bearings function. Both the bearings on the pinion shaft are clamped down with a steel retaining plate which also clamps down the same bearing setup (though smaller) on the upper main...
Thanks for the replies guys. I've thought of the Loctite 638 method on the bearing OD cavity but this has proven ineffective on various re-builds of this style transmission. Some of them are just too loose. This bearing has openings on both sides, one for the pinion/ring gear and the other for...
Question: I have a Porsche transmission pinion bearing race going into an aluminum housing. On top of this roller style bearing is a four point ball bearing and then a steel retainer plate. The problem with these transmissions is that the pinion race creeps over time and sooner the pinion race...
