I can only share that I've done one rebuild on my lt85 to date and the action got loose by comparison and there were metal on metal 'bangin' sounds from time to time that led me to the conclusion it was time to do so. Worked with Ashcroft transmissions as the original overdrive on the LT85 ring has a pin which originally was made of metal too soft for the job while in overdrive and they provide a hardened metal part for the replacement pin that seems to have greatly improved wear. Local to this forum Bearman has been of great knowledge and assistance and has likely forgotten more about the lt95 and lt85 than I'll ever know.
