Not exactly, but we may be just be speaking in different tongues. Are you and your friend talking about the sector gear itself or are you calling the steering box the sector? Sorry to seem confused, but in a typical steering box you'll have a worm shaft, a ball nut and a sector gear which is an inseparable part of the pitman shaft. The sector gear is usually taper cut so that it is adjustable...meaning the further you push it in with the adj bolt, the less tolerance exists between the ball nut and that sector gear. ??? Power steering changes the setup, but the basics are not very different.
