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.
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..:).
