Re: Cause of chain ratcheting issues

I can't really tell from the pictures, but is the shaft on your Versa planetary supported on both ends? This essentially ties into point #5 you made. During build season, we experienced chain skipping due to the shaft and mounting on our versa planetary flexing under load. Considering how far away the load is from your gearbox face, I feel that may be the issue you're seeing.
