Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t the gears be eating each other alive if the depth of the pinion changes?

I was having the same issues...I ended up shimming my drive gear till it was about 44.6... I’ve since drove close to 500miles (some high speed highway miles) and it still checks out at 44.6...my old shims were bent and had sharp edges, maybe the reason I was having issues, not sure. I replaced them with brand new shims that fit together nicely. I’ll keep you posted as I click more miles

I think i need to do the same , how much did you have to shim it?
