Can i machine down a+drop gears to fit into an a series case
cheers allan

i found out for myself and the answer is only if you get it case hardened again.
cheers and thank you for your help allan

Glad to help.

Rather than machine the idler gear, have the idler gear bearing holes in the case/transfer housing bored out and fit the larger bearings.
