So I finally got back to working on the transmission swap on my 930. Tore the differential from the donor apart to inspect all the parts and found that the roll pins that hold the pins through the spider gears sheared off on 3 of them. The pins are shot and the holes in the carrier are worn so that the pins are loose in the bores. So I tore the original transmission apart and it's the same thing sheared off roll pins and the spider gear pins are worn and the holes in the carrier are worn out.
I'm guessing that this is caused by spinning one tire, a lot. Was this a common problem? I'm guessing I can get the pins and thrust washers. I could get a salvaged carrier but I'm concerned that it will have the same problem with wore out holes. I've considered having the holes in the carrier bored out and have bushings made to get the proper diameter holes for the pins. Is there a carrier from a different series that would fit and be more durable?
Thanks,
Eli
