Thanks for all the input.
Sounds like I better dig out some old motor manuals for a refresher course, before I decide to buy gears or not. Seems like when I went to Vo-Tech in the 70's, we used paint to check the mesh of the pinion on the ring gear.
Is this what the "depth gauge" is for, to find the correct engagement of the teeth?
