A washer can be inserted under the foot of the motor to provide the clearance on the gear and drive worm. The reason this may be necessary is some of the new gears are a bit larger in diameter than the old gears....just enough to lock up the odometer causing you to get more practice and removing and installing pods. Don't ask me how I know this....
