Default Re: Advice of Dana 60 Gears

IMHO the gear sets need more backlash, AKA Space, for the gear lube to build a film for the gears to mesh on. I'm thinking the .008+ Up^.. If the pattern doesn't look right you can usually adjust the pinion depth to get the pattern right at that backlash. Some where I have a 1962 Motor Manual that explains the back lash pinion moves vs pattern location.

Thanks to everyone for the Help!!
I switch to US gear, and like them, the old Richmond gears the double diamond are good, but i think they have had multiple buy outs over the years, and quality is not the same.

There was some positive reviews about Motive Gears that are manufactured in Italy.
