Gentlemen (and Paul),

I have found out that the speed dependant knocking coming from what I
thought was a CV in on the prop shaft is actually the sound of a my 6-speed
(non CRB) dying.  Probably the mesh between the ring and pinion.  (Just put
it in about 3 years/50K miles ago).  I understand that the ring and pinion
must be replaced as a matched set.  My question is this:  If I can find a
five speed with a good ring and pinion, can I install the gears from my
6-speed onto the pinion from the 5- speed, then re-install that assembly
into my 6-speed’s housing?  I’m really not interested in buying another
6-$peed, but don’t want to give up the extra gear.

DB
and the “B” don’t stand for Braunschweig
