[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16549549, member: 184279"] That's interesting. I watched a lot of videos and read up quite a bit before I did my 8.8 last month, but did not see that technique used at all. EVERYTHING I saw showed the carrier being tested for backlash and pattern with all shims in place. There is even a special tool, like a small hammer with a curved striking surface, specially designed to tap shims in. Are you setting the carrier backlash/pattern to spec, loosely in place, then adding ~.005" shim to each side, or something like that? Then do final check? [/QUOTE]
