Slide 2 Shim (63) onto each diff out drive next to the bearing. Install 2 bearings (1) into Bulkhead-B
(18), 1 inside and 1 outside. Slide the small pinion gear (13) into Bulkhead-B. Apply pressure to the
pinion gear and fix the front center universal (45) using the 5x4mm Set Screw (60). Apply thread
locking compound to the set screw. Apply a light coat of grease to the large crown Gear on the diff,
and install the diff into Bulkhead-B. Fit Bulkhead-A using 2pcs 3.5x25mm RH/ST. Make sure the
thin shims seat properly and do not bend. Mark this gearbox as front. Repeat the process using the
rear diff, the longer universal rear driveshaft (91), and mark the gearbox as rear. Shims: The gear
mesh should be tight without binding. Test fit the diff with both shims on the gear-side of the diff and
if the diff turns freely without binding continue to next step. If the diff binds and does not turn freely
(it will make a grinding or crunching sound when spun), remove a shim from the gear side of the diff
and reassemble. If the crown gear does not make enough contact with the pinion gear (it will make
a clicking sound), add a shim to the gear side. Repeat until you are satisfied that you have the best
gear mesh possible.
