Talked to a ZF guy, he says as long as the splines line up should be good. As for the clutch pack to tighten clearances, I can't see how that works cause they are limited by the retaining rings. All together now with new regulator valve and ready for the car. Waiting on my son to pop it back in and see how it goes. Still I can't comprehend a design like this. I'll update soon as I have a clue what happens.
