27. Installing the speedo drive gear and carrier bearings. The drive gear tabs will need to be filed/ground to allow the carrier bearing to seat properly and flush. The Mazdaspeed Protege does not use a speedo gear ring. It gets it’s readings from the ABS sensor(s), so the LSD is not machined to accept the speedo gear ring needed for non-ABS cars.
30. Once you have your speedo drive gear and carrier bearings installed on the differential, it’s time to re-assemble the transmission. Start by removing the old carriers the old bearings ran in. This may require a special pull tool. Be careful not to damage the transmission case, remember it’s aluminum!
