Do you need a new pair of bearings for the new input gear ?
If you find you have the earlier FRC5428 we are able to supply the oil feed plate which will enable better oil lubrication.

Thanks had already checked that info What I am trying to determine is if a FRC 5428 gear is a FTC5089 without the longer splines or cross drilling or is there some other difference
Thanks AM

I thought there was a difference in the width of the gear teeth or something, that's why I had to cross drill my own
