STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
I have a new 12 bolt housing from STRANGE.
I was going to change the gears and I have a set of RICHMOND gears. The pinion gear on the new RICHMOND is 3/16 shorter than the gear we took out of the car. The new gear will not fit. Any idea what gives here. I thought all series 4, 12 bolt, gears were the same? Thanks!

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
The pinion gear is 3/16" shorter where?
Which ratio? Are both gear sets Richmond? The same series?

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
I've never seen any 12 bolt gears where the pinion was shorter in depth, which is what I take it you're referring to?
Post a pic of the new and old pinion side by side.

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
does the ring gear work?
i'm betting you have got a set for something other than a 12 bolt. pete |

After looking at it I see the pinion will not pass through the bearing in the case.
new one has the bearing on it.

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
it appears that you simply have the wrong gear set. Maybe boxed wrong or looked up wrong number.

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
If we had the number it could easily be solved...we can see the packaging in your image.
Is this it? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/r...27-1/overview/
