Does anyone have a new or good used sun gear for an R11 overdrive as used behind a Warner T85 they'll sell? Mine shattered. Thanks, John.

Thats a hard one to find. I have a new one for the R10 and sun gear I bought as a back up for my truck but have never seen one for a R11 and would like to have one for my T85 also. Have you checked with these people, they seem to be getting more parts for early trans..

Found one! A Packard vendor near Indy has one, it's on its way. John

Glad you found one. I was always wondering if they made any design changes over the years but everything I have seen they all appear to be the same. Years ago I picked up a BW OD manual for the R10 and it called for 30W oil in the OD unit but I've always used a 85-90 gear oil and hope it doesn't cause problems..

Jim:

I've been using 85-90 oil in my overdrives for over 50 years without any lube problems. My own mistake caused the broken sun gear, not lube.
