Mip transfer sp1 question
I just got a sp1 and it's the first time seeing one and I think I might be missing something. Should there be that much of a gap in the main gear and out drive.
Thanks
Thanks

I looked at the manual again and it has a bearing kit with 6 bearings. I also looked at pics on ebay with the Sam transmissions and the gear looks the same.

Re: Mip transfer sp1 question
I wonder if they ever had a "pro diff" version, I don't see why you couldn't fit a bearing in there if you get the measurements right. It's gonna be thin.
It will sound silly but I have used play dough for things like this, pack it in there, assemble, and remove carefully. That will give you the bearing width max. Don't use it for diameters, it won't be centered.

Re: Mip transfer sp1 question
They did offer the pro ball raced differential kit that also fit into the same gear box. He has the wrong diff. gear for sure.................needs B-3. Show some more pic's of the other parts. Does not look right!gomachv wrote:I wonder if they ever had a "pro diff" version, I don't see why you couldn't fit a bearing in there if you get the measurements right. It's gonna be thin.

Re: Mip transfer sp1 question
call me jealous for those metal diff gears.
just my thought on the matter but putting a 2nd bearing in to close the gap sounds like something id do.

Re: Mip transfer sp1 question
i doubt you could get a bearing thin enough to actually make that work.
