Has anyone encountered the following problem and if so what is the solution?
I have one of the late 016 transaxles with the APN ratio set - these ratios are quite a bit taller than the 5N usually found so I'm keen to use it. My problem is that the gearbox input shaft is smaller (by about 2mm) than the previous boxes so my CAV supplied bearing (a needle roller bearing in a bronze sleeve) is too big for the shaft. I'm told there isn't a roller bearing of the right size and the solution is to fit a sleeve to the input shaft to expand it to the right size. Views welcome!
