T90 Spacer Kit - an urban legend?


Mike Boyink
 

I just called both 4WDH and Turner, neither one has ever heard of the T90
spacer kit (mentioned in Granville Kings Jeep Bible as a
slip-out-of-second-fix).

4WDH thought their small parts kit included whatever this spacer kit did.
Lets hope so!

On another note, I also ordered the side-body "Jeep" stickers for my dad's
repainted Wrangler. $8.75 *each*! Wonder how much of that is trademark
payoff....

Mike, I think one or two West Coast sources were mentioned, the last time this came up. Could go
to the archives I suppose.

Biting my tongue on the functionality of the archives...would someone be so
kind as to re-post the sources Reed speaks of?

Mike I bought the small parts kit from 4WDHardware and it did not contain the
mythical spacer. The only way I can see that this spacer would be needed
were if the synchronizers were bad or the front/rear bearing was bad.

Mike, fairly sure one of them was Surplus City. I'll have a look in my files and if I find
anything will send direct.

Right you are! I just got off the phone with WillysWorks (after Turner,
Walcks, and 4WDH all telling me they never heard of this kit)and he (didn't
get a name) said that this little clip basically shoves the mainshaft
further in to make up for a worn 2nd gear synchro. Cost..$6.00 for the
spacer and a couple of gaskets.

So..after the long hunt and finally finding the "mythical spacer" I didn't
buy one. We'll do things the $$right$$ way instead..:).
