It stops the gear from chewing up the aluminum gear case....put it in there

If you swapped to aftermarket gears, it may not fit. I use the thinner metal washer on both sides to avoid binding. Take your own measurements to be sure.

I used the plastic washer, but I sanded it down to the thickness of the thin metal one.
