A sun gear shell assembly includes a cylindrical shell body formed by cold-rolling a low carbon steel, and a neck section having a protruding neck collar, formed by heat drawing and machining a middle carbon steel. A wall thickness of the shell body is increased for added strength. The neck has a 30 degree chamfer to prevent failures at the neck section, and the neck section is then welded to the shell body so that the sun gear shell becomes one piece. A plurality of holes are disposed in the neck section encircling the neck collar. An injection molded plastic washer including a plurality of tabs disposed on one side surface, has the tabs inserted into holes formed in the neck section to form the completed sun gear shell assembly.
