I just finished installation of new 3.54 gears in my DANA36.
What I noticed was gear noise when rotating the pinion in the load direction; rotating in the coast direction is very quiet.
Before I go on installing the rear end in my vette, I would like to know if this is normal.
Pinion preload is okay, backlash is at minimum and the pattern of the drive side is not as good as the coast side, but still okay.
I know there are not too many people out there installing gears themselves, but hopefully someone can help.
Thanks
Arnold
