Which brings me to my next question any teams have 2 or 3 they can part with? Obviously we would pay for the parts and any shipping
Dradel,

Have you inspected the gear teeth? Do all of the planets spin freely on the carrier plate pins? Are all of the carrier pins still fully pressed into the carrier plate?

As always, feel free to email me at the address in my signature and I"ll help you sort out any issues.
