Your absolutely correct a spacer or a 3 series carrier. a spacer is cheaper. which ever one you chose just make sure the install of the gear is correct.

Just buy a thick set of gears. They usually have an X at the end of the part number, they are made to fit a 2 series carrier and it is better than using a spacer and cheaper than buying a new carrier.

I agree with you about the thick set of gears, I forgot about that. Strange sells then. I used Strange thick gears in my old car. no wine or anything. Good luck again
