cheap sunglasses; that thread's quite interesting, i didnt realise a supra guy had been in here previously looking for a fix for the same problem.
How about straight cut gears (1-4)? Has anyone ever priced this up? That sure would be a permanent fix.
My new stock washer turned up this morning. From looking at it, im not so sure that it is entirely machined. It kinda appears that the piece has been cast, then the 2 faces have been machined, and the inside has been *mostly* machined out (though the machining didnt quite touch a part of the inside).
