From memory, i think it is possible to assemble wrong way and end up with 33 reverse and one forward gear.

Re: Pinion housing and differencial gaskets ?

Happened here in the 60's. Lad got a Star roadster minus rear end. So two of us went out in the countryside where we knew there was a Star chassis rusting away on the side of a field took the rear end off of it. Lad installed the rear end wrong way round and discovered he had one forward and 3 reverse. Sure surprised him also.
