(model 15MSHV 684C sn# 405823) I could use some expert advice on likelyhood of the dealer being able to get the correct pinion gear for this motor. My drive shaft has 10 teeth on it's spline. The pinion gear they ordered, part# 6E7-45551-00-00 has 8 teeth where it meets the drive shaft splines. Would a '98 pinion gear fit? There is a 10-day delay in getting the gear, part# 6E7-45571-00-00, also. Is there a parts supplier that deals with customers, instead spending hours at the dealer trying to explain the mismatch while waiting a week or indefinitely for parts. I'm looking for someone that can overnight my parts. Greatly appreciated in advance, ~Mike

Looks like they installed some '98 parts in the later 1997's. Maybe this is common.
