How to set up ring and pinion gear?

Ring and Pinion Gear Set Up To install your ring and pinion gears and/or differential correctly, it is critical to torque your bolts and set your preload and backlash correctly. The following table contains the proper specifications for all popular axles.

What causes ring and pinion tooth depth variations?

Examine the ring gear mounting surface for nicks or burrs which might prevent a flush mounting of the newly installed ring gear. Ring/Pinion tooth depth variations can result from a ring gear that is “cocked” on its mounting surface. If a ring gear spacer is to be used, also check it for surface imperfections.

How to tell the difference between ring and pinion?

This can be checked by dividing ring gear tooth count by the pinion tooth count. e.g. (Ring gear tooth count 35 T, pinion gear Tooth count 10 T, 35 divided by 10 = 3.50:1. 3. Many differential cases have many thousands of miles of service.

What do you need to know about ring and pinion installation?

During the ring & pinion installation, there are four pr imary adjustments that will need to be made. 1. Pinion Depth ± The distance from the face of the pinion gear to the centerline of the ring gear. This is adjusted by adding or subtracting shims to the inner pinion bearing.

Where is the differential pinion located on a car?

Where are the shims on a ring and pinion?

Pinion depth is controlled by shims. Shims may be located between the Inner pinion bearing & pinion head or they may be between the inner Pinion bearing cone and carrier housing. In either case removing a shim will Move the pinion away from the center line of the ring gear while adding a shim will move it toward the centerline
