4.10 Install Help I recently got my Motive 4.10's from Thunder Racing as well as a T/A Cover and a solid pinion spacer. I'm looking for a detailed step by step install for gears, can anyone point me in the direction of one? Also is there a way around grinding the pinion gear on Motives? Does anyone have experience with solid pinion spacers and installing them? Thank you

i just installed the motive 4.10s on mine. its pretty easy actually. i never had to grind anything. I dont even know what ppl are talking about with that.
Bowtie, you probably have an auburn diff.
LS1TORQ, you can mill down the paddle block instead, thats what I did. I believe i milled about 1/2" x 3/16" from one end to sneak past the teeth.

Hey thank you Guitsboy and Bowtie. What instructions did you use on your install. I'm just worried b/c I know how important it is to install gears perfect for strength a and long life.
I didnt use directions exactly... I just winged it. I got lucky cause I got my pinion depth correct on the first try (stock sized .035 shim), and I simply reused the factory carrier shims. Since I got lucky and got everything dialed on my first shot, the install was easy. My contact pattern was perfect and I had a nice and tight .0065 backlash, which is silent even still (25K miles later).
