After building the differential with new gears a new differential case and bearings,
the differential may feel a little tight. The connected parts need at least an hour
run-time to create a perfect match. Attention: When you assemble the diff with too
much initial play, the gears will not run-in properly and may wear quickly. After 1 or
2 hours of running the car, re-
check the gear-mesh between
the ring gear and the pinion.
All parts should have run-in
properly now. You may ad
one or more extra shims on
the pinion or ring-gear, start
of by placing 1 x 0.1mm more,
and try again.
