Thank you, Kelly, but this morning I did something really radical.  I 
don't want to freak you guys out, or anything, but I just had, like, 
this brainstorm and, you know, I had to go with it.  I took the gearset 
to a TRANSMISSION SHOP.  I don't know what came over me.  I just did it.

The mechanic recommended that I replace the 3-planet set (he called them 
pigs), with a 6-planet set in a steel carrier.  He didn't have one in 
stock, and I didn't have time to drive across town to their sister shop 
before work, but I'll head over there next week.  I'll be able to test 
fit it right there...and buy it if it fits.

(Sometimes the obvious thing to do is...obvious 8*)
