Who has setup their own gears? Question about pinion shims...
Well I was setting up my gers in my 12-bolt for my 71 last night. The axle originally had a factory eaton posi and 3.07 gears. I have a new 4-series Eaton posi and 3.73 gears that are going in.
When you guys have set up these gears how many shims did you need to get the pinion depth right? I measured the pinion depth and came up with a really screwy number so I am just gonna go by trial and error at this point. I started with .025" and it was to far out then I went to .095" and it was binding so now I have .045" but was too tired to put the rest back together and finish running a pattern last night... does .030-.035" sound about right?
