New gears backlash question
I got my new gears installed but I need to know how much play I'm supposed to have if at all? There is a bit of play when I turn the pinion..
4.56 gears
8.25 rear end

At the gears there should be about .005-.010" and backlash, but it feels like a lot more at the driveshaft.

do you have a dial indicator? you should or it may never be right!
and yes it feels like a lot at the pinion compared to the ring gear.
