Thanks but as you can read i had about 200 runs with metal side plates and no confusions with the diff ring gears (motors from 5.5T up to 10.5T).
We found out that the newer gear boxes have problems near the outer ball bearing which can be solved using a single round of "tesa film" tape around the bearing. Installation of the bevel gear in the gearbox is def. not the cause for the issue. Shiming and gear grease are no problems at all.
