And thanks for all the feedback, positive or negative. I am sure some got them to work, but from this blog, and many other I read, the chances of getting a good set, are less then getting a bad set.
At least now I am certain it wasn't me. One always wants to believe in the product and think we did something wrong, but man I went over and over this, and took my time. I was really scratching my head. I am glad before I took them out again, and tried to re-set them, that I now have a plan.
I would have been really aggitated if I went through it all, to have them whine again, or worse, get another set and have them whine.
It appears Motive pumps them out, then lets the customer do the testing, they makes it such a hassle to exchange them, that nobody wants to deal with it, so they live with it.Or if you go through their game, then they send you another set, you hope for the best, or better yet, you get so tired of it, you live with it.
Sad thing is, I bought them because this is not a race car, so I thought I could save about $35.00 over Richmonds. Now I realize I had a Jegs $20.00 gift card for my next Richmond gears from the last race set I bought.That coupled with the $25.00 big/little ujoint I had to buy to run Motives fine spline (I only had a large yoke with fine splines), it really cost me, because now I only have a small coarse yoke (Richmonds take 10 spline coarse) and I have to buy another small u-joint. Some times I am a bone head!
