double check my gear setup figures please
double check my gear setup figures please ok, well i guess the thunder shootout gave the gears no additional help cause with the exhaust back on it freakin screams like really bad now, it was bad before but now its freakin unbearable.
12 bolt setup, you want lash around 8-9 right
and what is preaload on the pinion supposed to be, where can i get a tool to check it. i already have a dail indicator for the lash. and i need to put in a solid crush sleve and possibly new bearings. it can't possibly be the gears makin that much noise.
and tips/tricks or writups on the pinion part would be nice. i know how to set up the gears.
thanks

What happens when you launch really hard is the crush sleeve gets crushed more and the pinion looses its pre-load. A solid one will end those problems. Lash is normally anywhere from .008-.012 and i think the pinion needs 25 in.lb. of spinning force with new bearings and 20 with used bearings.
