Diff Case Sanding
Trying to get the sun gear closer to the spider gears was posing an issue when gears are worn/broken-in. Having two shims behind the sun gears already, there is no more room for more shims there. I tried putting a third shim behind the sun gear, but that causes too tight of fitment.
Mugen diff seals are .5mm thick and Associated diff seals are .24mm thick. I'm not a fan of the Associated paper seals, but will use them in a pinch. After sitting back for fifteen minutes, thinking about how to accomplish needed room for proper gear mesh, one of those light bulbs popped over my head 💡. My problem isn't the shims, or seals themselves, it's the diff case that I need to remove material from.
I'll work with rear diff first since it's the one that's giving me a weird notchy feeling when turning outdrives with fingers.
