    8 3/4 question

    the shop did the gear set up - did you do the install of the rebuilt center section into your car or did the shop do that as well -- if you did the install -- did you notice if the shop did a pattern check with gear marking compound to make sure the gears were meshing properly . if not then for...

    8 3/4 question

    after 3 or 4 gear sets ,,spending $800.00 on a NOS gear set is not going to solve the problem -- the shop/shops being used obviously have no clue of what they are doing -- the gear set is not the problem ,, the mistake the shops are making is on setting the pinion depth and pinion bearing...

    742 -3.73 gears

    you will be close but bearings due vary so pinion bearing preload will change with the new bearing -- you will have to check it to make sure what preload you have ---- 20-25 in/lbs for new bearings -- 8-15 in/lbs for used bearings

    Noisy 8 3/4 Differential

    drive pattern looks good ,, but a little high (towards heel of tooth) try adding .003 to the pinion shim and take another pattern check -- --- what was the pinion bearing pre-load set at . --- what was the backlash set to.

    Noisy 8 3/4 Differential

    --- what was the pinion bearing preload set at --with new bearings it should have been 20-25 in/lbs rotating -- if preload was not set properly the pinion gear will not run true to the ring gear --- gear pattern may be off due to incorrect pinion depth locating shim selection -- but without...
