Found the problem. Carrier pin is missing it's bolt. It is sliding out of the carrier and getting caught on the pinion. There's already a chunk off the top of the carrier pin missing. It's not enough to warrant a new pin, but I'm worried about the pinion more than anything. Pete stands by his work, and he'll take care of it. Once he gets the bolt, he'll mail it to me so I can install it. Then, I need to check the teeth on the pinion to make sure they aren't damaged. From what I could see of the bottom teeth, they are ok, with a few that have a little scraping, but nothing serious.
Which means I'm most likely out of the cruise day on saturday unless I can come up with a bolt between now and then.
