WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
 

I need a good used ring and pinion for a dana 35c with 3.73 ratio.

The cross pin on mine came out and tore up everything. My guy had
hoped to save me some $$$ by re-using the ring and pinion since it
only had one minor chip on one of the pinion teeth.

Well, is growls quite bad and when they listened with their electronic
mic, they could here the tick tick of that tooth.

So I think I the pinion bearings are shot, and I need new gears.
They will use gears that I supply, but if they get them for me, they
go through the local dealer. They want over $400. for gears.

If someone in the boston area has re-geared a dana 35c I would like to
purchase your old 3.73 gear set.

I would like to get them this weekend if possible, so I can get this
whole mess over with.

If no replies this weekend, can someone recommend a source that can
get them to me ASAP.

Thanks

Re: WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
 

It sounds as if you lost your cross pin, and then the shop put things back
together without replacing the pinion bearings. Correct me if this is not
true. Why would you go back to that shop? I don't know, maybe you
convinced them to do the job on the cheap. It almost never works out,
unless you are as lucky as I am. Even I have a bad run now and then.

Most any local auto parts store, NAPA, Autozone, Carquest, etc. should be
able to get that gear set cheaper than the Jeep dealer.

The 35c has a reputation as a cheap axle. If you cook one that bad you are
likely to continue to have problems with it, no matter how many parts and
dollars you throw at it.

Earle

What's that Lassie? You say that Earle Horton fell down the old
rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys mine and will die if we don't mount a
rescue by Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:51:31 -0600:

Yes, that's it. Killed the tranny too. I'm lucky I could drive it
home. I lost 3rd and 4th gear, had to limp home with just 1,2, 5 and
reverse.


They thought that we could get away with it, so I said OK. Turns out
I was wrong. But anyway, they will not charge me for the labor, just
the parts.

But can they get it by Monday?
I will ask around on saturday, but if someone in the area has swapped
to different gears and doesn't need their old ones, I could use them.

I know, too late now. If I had it to do over again, I would get a
whole new axle assembly.
