Big nut came loose and let the pinion eat the ring gear. Same thing happened to Firebug.

Did the pinion nut come loose? Mine stripped out right after I got my buggy on my 6 rib. Didn't get chewed that bad tho. |

I talked to Eric today and he is going to fix me up. I guess I can’t complain too much I got 4+ hard years out of it. The only step up I could do is a Weddle ring and pinion but costing $900 I can’t afford it now. |

Always put a new pinion bearing in them, and nut. I hope your Bearing did not spin in the case. |

Eric's going to put it in a side shift case for me. He said they have thicker ribs and my origional case is probably shot. |

My transmission used to be a S.S. too, there are certain year S.S. cases that you can convert over to nosecone shifter, I think. |
