I tried to take a picture but I don't know if it is clear enough to help. The pattern seems to be more toward the base of the tooth and I am wondering if I should do as the I&T manual says and remove a shim from the pinion shaft or if that would be more likely to make it whine by tightening it up too close to new gear specs. Any advice will be much appreciated. I used long bolts as dowel pins and put a rubber band on the pilot bearing, both seemed to help and it went together smoothly. The band was pushed off by the input shaft as it went on and is now wrapped around the shaft just behind the bearing.
