    almost uses the case...but what is important is the relative position of the pawl at rest. 1 spline to far and it causes a nasty back grab when the motor stops. I assume its when it back rotates. its ugly.

    that is an odd gear number so you can't measure straight across
    what is the ID to OD dimension

    If I'm measuring right (ID to end of tooth?) it's 9.08 mm. If that's not what you're asking, just let me know and I'll try again.

    Well what I'm seeing on mine, is with the kicker shaft in it's "home" position the pawl is held in against the spring holder. See below: Look right?

    I got 9.19 on this one so about .030 diff
    what's odd is all the primary idler gears are the same, but there are 2 different gear counts on the back gear

    Thanks! If you look close you can see the vice-grips holding a trimmed tongue depressor against the inside of the case which is acting as a backing plate for the JB weld. Just removed it tonight and it looks pretty good. Just need to touch it up with a dremel tool to ensure I've got good clearance.

    I use doubled aluminum foil as a dam when I do casting with JB. Also apply a thin layer film of Vaseline to the JB surface of the foil so it can be removed after setting and not bond foil to the JB Weld

    I've got a spare side cover, just have to look if it's pre 85 or later, either will work by the way, if your repair
    goes south.

    Good idea on the foil and wax paper. I thought about a release agent like Vaseline, but was concerned that I would get some of it on the cover and ruin my patch effort. That's why I went with wood that could easily be scrapped away.
