I did post this on the IDI page as well;
Howdy folks,
My 5-42 in the ol' '87 has bit the dust. The 3-4 hub is shattered and the main shaft is broken. My question for someone smarter than me is; I have a 5-42 with a broken main shaft, I also have a 5-47 with a broken housing. Can I simply swap the main and counter shafts from the 5-47 into the case halves of the 5-42? I know the bare main shafts are the same but I would like to retain the lower gear ratio the 47 offers.
Thank you for the help!
