contact pattern

The pinion gear is meshing too deep into the ring gear, i would take at least .005-.008 thou outta the shim pack behind the pinion bearing & take a look. On used gear sets pay the most att to the coast sid e as it has the least ammount of where on it. also i made a "test" pinion bearing that just slipps on & off the pinion with no press until pattern is good to go. Just use a die grinder & spin it around until it just slides on the pinion shaft. once pattern is where its soposta be press on new bearing & go hope it goes well for ya so there not noisy!:cheers:
