Don't touch the pinion gear. If you do you will be in for a rude awakening when you try to get the gears set up. |
this is true, reason the gear is no longer on this lsd, i got this lsd with the new gear set after i put the first lsd in.. i just kinda threw it in and eyeballed the backlash haha it went good for quite a while.. but yeah if u look online u can find how to's on how to set n shim the gears proper.. its really not a hard job, i can have the whole rear out in half an hour n back in within one...
