Default yeti gearbox question

Call me a dumb hillbillie, but i found under the main slipperplate spareroom for an bearing bushing and i placed it there. Know this mod from the ax10/wraith housing to avoid flex on the mainshaft und lower noise.

Good find. What size bearing did you use and did it make any difference while running?

Its the standard bearing (axle, knucklearms)

U will like the afford over the months. Less stress on the shaft will reduce ugly sound effects beeing the spur elliptic offcenter

When I upgraded to the steel spur gear and machined slipper plates my spur gear had about 1mm wobble in it. Luckily I remembered this post and installing the bearing straightened everything out.
