Knowing your gear ratio is great theory, seeing how many RPM's your motor will pull with a full fuel tank and a normal operating load is better for reality. Have you taken it out?
That number on the outdrive might be a 1.52 ratio, right hand rotation. I don't know Alphas much.
So the new bellows, which is enroute, has a new spring already in it and ready to install as is? That's the answer that I want to be true.
I watched some videos, and some of them said to remove the spring to help with removal of the old bellows, but I have the ring off, and it couldn't be any...

Some of my cars have brand-specific service functions built into the scanner, such as rear brake release mode for brake service for BMW's.
My Mercedes scanner told me that the passenger floorboard temp sensor was causing the HVAC system to display an error. Silly things, but I live 50 miles away...
My Metalcraft trailer for a Chaparral 256 SSI weighs 1900, by itself, on a scale.
My trailer for a Sea Ray 270 Sundeck weighed within 40 pounds of that.
