4.7 gear install (Kiwi found something the pro's were not aware of

When you read the directions, You dont really watch what's going on because You're depending on the step by step directions to guide You, plus looking at the cool pictures.
So I clearanced the case for the new oversized gear. I fit the gear in place and all looked good
I also clearanced the shift fork/dog for Low gear, just like the pictures tell You to do.
I put the whole thing back together, and thats when I found out that as soon as I put the case in low gear on the bench, that it locked up.
So, of course I just added some more force to fix the problem . Well, when I did that it would make a ty noise and then would jump out of low gear. WTF.
I pull the whole thing apart to trace the problem down. And now for the stupid part.
The directions say to clearance the low gear shift fork down, but they dont tell You to grind the roll pin for that fork down, or dont drive it all the way home. Because if You dont shorten that roll pin or do drive it down all the way........Guess what?
It then hits the in new oversized gear and locks Your Up!
This is the pin in question after shortening it.
In low gear, after the fix.
I hope this helps some other Noob, do it right the First time.

pretty cool when Marlin's kid notices your fix:

So I have updated step 49 of our installer to include this required info
