I got a new set of gears for my 8 3/4 rear. My machinist says that the new gears have a fine spline (22) and the original pinion is a coarse spline (10). He recommends that I need a new pinion. Anyone know where to get one?

Chris, you can get one from your dealer or Mancini Racing. They are esy to find used as well. I assume this is for your U-code Chally ragtop? If so, you will need the 7290 large u-joint fine spline yolk.

Thanks for the quick response. Yep, it's for the Chally. I think I need the 29 spline for a 7290 u-joint like this:

I guess I'm not gonna make it to Musclepalooza on Sunday afterall.

Can anyone confirm that the OE gear has a coarse (10) spline pinion and the later ones are fine?

All 742 castings, most 741 castings and some 489 casting gears were made with 10 spline yokes.

'69-'70 489 castings originally came with 10 spline pinions.

'71-'74 489 castings originally came with 29 spline pinions.

Richmond makes 10 spline 489 casting ring and pinions. Every other brand of 489 casting gears are 29 spline.
