was busy pressing new gears on today - and for the life of me cannot seem to find the centering cone. In my manual (1992 cobra all models OEM) the assembly mentions the centering cone, however on the diagram its not there. On other diagrams however it IS shown. Do some models NOT have the cone and rely on the bearing / shaft for alignment (this seems odd but i cant be sure).

thanks


here is the assembly showing the cone:

and here is the diagram NOT showing the cone (its clearly visible in other diagrams)..

nope :/ just couldnt afford.. I used original shims at first.. I got the rolling torque on the vertical gearset done perfect, backlash was perfect- the wear pattern was good on teeth.. Lastly i did the rolling torque on the whole upper and was perfectly in the middle of the oem specs.. maybe i got lucky who knows but I think im happy with those results..
