Muncie Drive Gear - advice needed
Okay, so a few years ago, I had bought a rebuilt Muncie from Ed Hartnett and to detail it the way I want, I pulled the tail housing and side cover for refinishing. It has a 7 tooth plastic drive gear with the metal clip and for the combo I will be running I need to change it out for an 8-tooth 1.84 diameter.
Should I replace it with the plastic gear or the press-on steel drive gear? I realize the plastic gear is a weak link, but from what I've read, it is only is an issue if the speedo seizes. If I go with the steel gear, any issues pressing it on the output shaft using the input shaft as the support in a hydraulic press?
