they are known for the snap ring popping out of the groove and let the gear slide down and you loose reverse...this one eliminates the clip..

Bad part is engine removal and splitting the cases just to fix it. Big bucks at dealer.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke! Yours may never need this.

If it pops out will it damage anything?

Subject: Re: Reverse gear upgrade Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:11 am

I drove mine home after reverse went out...about a 10 mile trip. I've been advised not to drive it anymore untill it's fixed. Makes sense that something bad could happen.

Subject: Re: Reverse gear upgrade Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:08 am

yep...sometimes it breaks the cases

Subject: Re: Reverse gear upgrade Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:27 am

Along with the reverse gear upgrade if you already have the case split you might want to thank about doing the threw shaft also. There was something else James upgraded on mine when he built my 787 it was A plate of some kind I'm sure he can answer that for you better then me though just thangs to thank about when you are already in there and James can get everything for you that you need.

Kyle why you tearing it down again? No this is not an issue on the 660.
