Yes. You may need to bore or grind your pinion bearing retainer's diameter a little bigger to clear the 20T pinion. |

I presume your talking about the third motion shaft bearing retainer as per the image below.  I can see where it may be a close fit with a larger pinion. I presume this retainer has a large section cut away where the crown wheel meshes with the pinion. |

Yes that is it. As long as the retainer's bore clears the pinion's teeth by 1mm or so it is fine. If not, bore it until it does. If you have access to a lathe it is a 5 minute job. 4 synchro remote and earlier retainers need a bit more metal taken out to achieve this. |

Yep - you can probably do it with a round file in less time than it would take to set up the lathe... Cheers, Ian |

It will grab fine and true in the lathe's 3 jaw chuck. 5 secs setup time.
