Ernest,
Kelly's advice is good, also a good move on your part and good advice from
the transmission shop.

Regardless of any size difference- there may not be as some are
interchangeable, you are much better with the 6 planet and things can be
modified to fit.

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*)
