[QUOTE="338Shooter, post: 1339871, member: 3449"] It is my understanding that the shims on the pinion are to set the depth the pinion contacts the ring gear. Once it is all together you spin the gear with some contact paint and look at the marks on the ring gear from the pinion. If it is not right, you add or remove shim from the pinion. I will get a magnetic dial indicator to adjust backlash on the gears. This process seems a little more difficult to find info on because it is not something that is done often and many DIYers don't tackle it. If I decide to do it, I'll probably do a write up with lots of pics. [/QUOTE]
