Thrust Washer In Center Diff

[Greeno]

I'm having tons of trouble finding the washer that runs behind one of the gears in the center Diff, not the two spider gears, but the gear on the Viscous Coupler side of the differential. I could post MD part numbers if that would help anyone, but it hasn't helped a single automotive shop in the area. To all of you who rebuild or have rebuilt these things before... where would I find this guy? I'm pretty sure its all steel, not the steel/brass pressed piece that rides under the gear on the other side of the Diff.

I have every one in stock for the 5-speed center diff, which one do you need?

Please do yourself a huge favor, and get the cap machined for a torrington bearing.

This is the one, well, where the one I need is supposed to go, I've got a spacer I found in there that I used to get a thickness reference, just so I could get some specs for some shops around here.

As far as the torrington goes, that and the 4 spider conversion are all in my future plans, I've just already gone over budget on parts for right now

Well, what is the thickness of it?? Have you measured the pinion endplay with the shim out while assembled to get a reference thickness?

Yeah, I realized as soon as I woke up this morning that you were probably asking for thickness... Sorry, I was tired and I've dealt with so many idiots trying to find these parts in the last few days that it's apparently contagious.
I need one that's .75-.95mm

I have both part numbers in stock for that size range.
MD720679 - 0.83-0.92mm
MD720680 - 0.75-0.82mm
