Re: shift out of luck

Regarding the bearing retainer, or front yoke, or snout, or whatever you want
to call it, when I changed my Tiger from 5 to 6 bolt housings I had to replace
the part.  The replacement (Genuine Ford) had an interference problem on the
inside, with the snap-ring on the front bearing.  Double-check to be certain
the snap-ring has a pocket to reside in.  It is easily resolved in about 20
seconds on a lathe.
