741 - crush sleeve and shims?

If you go back and read this whole thread you will find 90% of the information that you need to set up your pumpkin.

The only thing that has not really been discussed is the backlash of the ring gear to the pinion gear. After you do a lot of these you can feel almost exactly the backlash that is needed then you put the dial indicator on it and check for the final setting.

Then torque down your carrier bolts and you should be good to go.


If you are getting less than 70 inch pounds of pull over on that pinion with it fully assembled I don't think you have very much of a problem.
