Roadranger input shaft deisgn change
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2017 8:36 am
I am replacing an input shaft on a RTO15613 and the replacement has less "meat" in the spline that goes into the input gear. This means a lot more slop between the shaft an gear. I thought it was a poorly machined aftermarket shaft, but the place I called to get an OEM shaft said that the Eaton shaft is looser also and it was a "design change". I can find no mention of this on the web anywhere.
Has anyone run into this? I am going to install the OEM shaft and keep the aftermarket as a clutch line-up tool, but I can think of no reason you would want a sloppy fit in that location, and plenty of reasons not too.
