Default Gotta give props....

..... to Ken(ssralleyred)and his bud John on the gear install they did for me.

Last 4 sets I had in it cried like a beat dog. So bad you had to listen for the exhaust(TD's)over it. Would literaly make momma nauseaus after about an hour. Stopped driving the car.... no fun. Like a bunch of other folks with the infamous MOSER howl, I had always used a crush sleeve and they always made noise from the get go(thought it was supposed to that way )and got worse after each track visit.

This time we used a solid pinion spacer and the rear is absolutely quiet. I mean silent. I mean DEAD silent. Took quite a bit of playing with to get it just right, but Ken and John were shooting for the money pattern.
Never thought I'd get that OEM 10 bolt silence out of this rear(5th gear swap), but looks(sounds)like they nailed it!

Thanx guys!
