My gears went in my spare differential with no problem.
They assembled increadibly easily (by professionals) and
slipped right in. The patterns were dead on spec as well.I picked up the diff this morning. All I need to do is
find 90/140 fluid, install the SPL aluminum bushings and
do the swap. re: shimming, oddly enough, the stock shims didn't provide
the specified preload by nissan. However, the stock gear
assy and the leadersgear assy slid in with no resistance,
and NO play either. The LeaderGears are a perfect fit.
However, we are running an experiment and preloading the
ring with a 1mm S.S.shim to see how preloading (per the
service manual) effects gear noise and face wear. By the
pattern we ran tho, it should be perfect with or
without the preload. My shop that installed the gears were incredibly impressed
with how little work was required to install and setup the
gears. They were also impressed with the thoroughness of
the factory Nissan Service Manual. One last note, We compared the leader gears to beefy ford 8.8 inch ring and pinion set and were shocked to see that
your gears look much stronger and beefier then fords ring
and pinions. (especially that pinion of yours... sheeeesh).
