Went to a shop a few weeks ago to get my new diff installed and the guy asked me where the gears were. Told him I wanted to reuse the gear and pinion and he advised against it. Mentioned something about the wear pattern changing and causing issues because of the new carrier. Anyone ever heard of this?
Did a couple of searches and it seems that most people reuse the same gearset as long as its in good condition. Was thinking about doing it myself and just keeping the shims in the right place but getting the ring gear off the carrier seems to be the hardest part.
So new gears or no??? If so, which ones. Mainly a street car but want to run at the track (3 times a year tops) once all is done.
