A planet gear includes a pin and an annular planet gear rim. The pin has a pin radius. The pin includes a pin outer surface. The annular planet gear rim has an inner radius and an outer radius. The annular planet gear rim includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface and the pin outer surface define a clearance therebetween. The clearance is greater than 0 when a radial force is applied to the planet gear.
