So I found out that even using the thinnest side of the stepped thrust washers was not going to work. So I removed the gear, thrust washer and bearing from the shaft using the press again, and installed a stock thrust washer without a step. This provided .009” clearance. This value is also verified after the main shaft and gear assembly is installed in the case after the pre load is set.
They have not updated their instructions to note the use of the set screw on the back side of the case for the hi-lo shift shaft. Curious.

Steve, I think if you add in one more pic showing the folks how you press the FOP bearing into the front extension housing, this build up thread would be a better 'real world' resource thread than what AA has.
I do not have any idea what you are talking about here Mark....
I am pretty sure that posts 31,32 and 33 cover that.

Well, I dropped the 40 off @ Steve's Off Road today and the combo should be here by monday...
When did they start machining the recess for the shift rail reataing tab ? I agree with mark that the shift rail retaining tab vary widely from factory and have a huge effect on the shift collar positioning.
I will look at my case again ( # 100) but IIRC it has no recess where the tab attaches.
Is that a Toybox in front of the Orion? If so. Talk about crazy low.
Where did you get the billet nosecone?
So, would it be a good idea for those of us with early cases to add this set screw option?? (Would have been nice to do while the case was out of the truck!) I've not had problems with the shaft coming loose, but not too sure about fore and aft drift....
Cheers!
In other words, if you don't have a double o-ring shift rail, I don't think you need this mod.
