2.45 Ratio uses it's own carrier.. No larger numerical gears bolt up.. You would need both carrier, and ring and pinion if it's open 2.45.
To fit the higher ratio (smaller number) gears, the flange on the carrier is moved over a bit. This gives room for the larger diameter pinion gear required. The ring gears are also machined specifically for the application, so they do not interchange. I suppose you could make a spacer to use the lower gears with the carrier, but you would have to know the exact thickness required and the bolts could be a problem. For the precise machining required, better to purchase the required carrier.
