Post by: chefod on October 23, 2005, 08:49:42 AM
I started to change my front from 16 to 15 teeth and when i did there is some room for play on the side to side motion?? did anybody else have this problem, the old sprocket had a little lip on it, I was just gonna put a washer in, is there any need for this or is it all right the way it is??

Movement = Wear.  I'm quite certain that when I put my 17T on, there was no movement of the sprocket on the spline.  The Circlip held the sprocket from moving off, but there was no movement to be had inbound either.

This is a high-stress part of the engine.  If I were you I'd shim the sprocket so it doesn't move and you can still get the Circlip on the drive shaft.

PS. My replacement sprocket was designed just like the stock 16T -- with a shoulder on the inboard side.  I take it that this is missing from your 15T, n'est pas?

Hey Chefod.  I just noticed in your signature that you have a "Remote Starter" on your GS500?  Is it for real?

How does it work?  :dunno:  Don't you need to set the choke?  What drove you to get it?
