There are two adjustments; the one mentioned above and then there is also a preload on the shaft gear itself, which requires a special spanner. Not a good thing to monkey with - I had a box that was adjusted (by the factory - new AGR performance box) incorrectly fail and lock up hard left on me - not good!
