Topic: 4cyl housing, v6 gears

[Skinny_Pedal]

the setup im going to be running is a v6 5.29's with a 4cyl spool in a 4cyl housing. i got the setup kit that will allow this but it makes the pinion bearing smaller. this going to be a problem u think? daily driven

the v-6 gears do not fit in the 4cyl housing unless you know the correct combo of pinion bearings.
i am not sure what you have to mix and match.
there have been a couple of threads on it on th PBB.
gearman at river city diffs knows what is needed.
its easier to get 4cyl gears in a v-6 housing (just needs a ring gear spacer)

well from everyone else i have talked to they say this will work fine. i want to know what u guys think the strength will be   yukon gear part # YG TV6-529(toy v6)   setup kit # YK T8-B(86 newer)

if it is a true v-6 gear set it will be a pain.
but most v-6 gear sets are really just 4cyl gears with a ring gear spacer.

The guy that he bought the gears from said 4 cyl. gears are thinner and the bearing is wider.  He also said 6 cyl. gears are thicker but the bearing is narrower, so either one works.  The guy said with the setup kit he has it'll all work fine.
