I finished my gears in my 5 speed. 2.73- 3.27. Very nice gain. But i'm getting some noise. I had all the proper tools and did everything by the book. The pinion depth was right on....the backlash was .012 (specs are .008-.015) and the runout was only .001. Everything listed was perfect. The conntact pattern was also fine, right where it should be. I'll try to describe the noise.
The noise only happens at low speeds...while slowing down below 20mph. There is no noise at all while accelerating...or decelerating. There are no vibrations, and no howling. There is however...clicking. A deep clicking noise....not loud...but noticable. This only happens at speeds below 20mph while slowing down. There is no clunking at take off or reverse. I've gone through everything and i cant understand it. I've seen gears that were done wrong, and they either howl while accelerating...or decelerating. Mine does neither, just clicking. I cant figure it out. Maybe they need to break in some more before i jump to conclusions. Someone please shed some light on the issue. Thanks
