AW50-42LE tiny part question

Post by Chuck W »

Since some of you guys are heavier into some of the parts than I am, I figured I'd post this up here and see if anyone has any info.

Tearing down the old 50-42LE from my '97 T5 to swap into the wife's '97 GLT (has 300K on it and not in it's prime).

During the process, this little anti-rattle clip under the F3 Freewheel assembly comes out in 2 pieces.

I contacted the supplier of the overhaul kit (Oregon Performance Transmission) and it's not in their kit, or something their supplier has available.

Aside from tearing apart another trans to hopefully find a good one, does anyone have any info on a possible part number? My Google-Fu isn't yielding any results.

Seeing as it's fairly captured, I may explore a couple repair options, or just leave it out. Not quite sure yet.

Thoughts?
'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.

The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '93 F-150 I6

I'd try these folks, odds are they at least know of a source for it. It may be an otherwise redundant part...
