1. While checking the spacer lengths for the countershaft gears, I find some of them are up to .010 shorter than spec. HOW do these spacers wear? There is no torque or movement applied to them.
2. The countershaft has movement front to back with all the gears and spacers installed. I do not have the differential back in yet,so the question is once the diff is back in and the countershaft bevel and ring gear are meshed, is that gong to take up this slack? I know the manual says not to torque the countershaft nut until everything else is in place, but I am assuming that is because the input shaft and sliding gears have to be in place so you can "lock" the transmission to torque the nut.
I need a little pro advice!!
