Could you check this????? From the symptoms, it almost sounds as if you're using the splined outdrives from a gear diff. The splines on a Ball diff outdrive is a bit shorter. I have seen people do this before.
The reason I gave the 1150 bearing number is that is what is listed in the manual. I have no way of knowing if that's antiquated or truth because there isn't anything printed on the bags.

Here's a pic of what I was talking about. I think I see why they don't fit.



Where the axle meets the bearing appears to be a millimeter or two longer than the stock one. Is the V2 kit somehow different? I just can't see that.
