3046moparcoupe Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 Trying to confirm if a Republic 15 tooth Gear, part #K207-8A, is a good interchange number for a Mopar 952244 15 tooth Reverse idler Gear. My understanding is that the aftermarket Borg Warner version of the 952244 gear is Borg Warner part # WT243-10. (If that helps in any way). I've tried different search engines and nothing's coming up for the K2078A part number. hoping maybe someone here on the forum who's been doing this since dirt was first invented might have some old cross reference books. Many thanks Steve Gentry Quote

3046moparcoupe Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Posted January 7, 2018 Wanted to share this with folks. I just purchased a new 1st /rev slider gear off ebay from a seller, 100% satisfaction rating, he offers a return policy, his seller name is jrvintagegears. The gear I received is amazingly clean and truly looks to have never been run. In comparison to what folks are asking for this stuff, ( especially in respect to the quality ), he also seems reasonable on his prices....this gear was $69 Along with posting here on the forum, I also messaged him (Jim) asking if he had any interchange documentation for the Republic gear, due to a previous conversation we had about the Borg Warner gear I purchased, and he had been willing and offered to fax me interchange info on the borg Warner WT243-12 interchanging with a Mopar 853886. He answered me back today as follows: Hi ---- I checked my republic interchange book WT243-10 -- K207-8A ---952244 -- all part numbers are the correct same gear ----- JIM I thanked Jim and messaged him back, that if possible - I would appreciate having a copy of the info he found regarding these gears all interchanging....I'll let folks know if he is able to follow through with the fax... So far, I would highly recommend jrvintagegears on ebay, from me experience, fast excellent communication,..Jim seems to value and appreciate his customers and doesn't try to sell inferior stuff. hopefully I'll possible have a copy of this info early this next week and I'll share it here on the forum.

desoto1939 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 Moparcoupe. I listened to your voice message last nigh. According t my Borg warner tans and diff catalog the early type 16t and the late 15t are interchangeable and this is indicated for the WT243-10 idler gear and they also reference the various MoPar part numbers ( 952244, 853887, 666923) I have attached the page from the catalog for your reference so the 16t and 15t canbe used. Look at the cross sing just before the part number wt243-10 and there is a staement with the cross sign as the reference point. This is another reason for collecting the various catalogs and for members to get copies to have for reference material. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com 1 Quote

This completely resolves this for me, and hopefully will help someone else down the line - someday. On 1/7/2018 at 10:41 AM, desoto1939 said: Moparcoupe. I listened to your voice message last nigh.
