Not PTFE just good old electricians tape, I just put a slither in both half casings where both bearings sit.
I found that even when you pinch the pinnion gear and input shaft together so that there was no slop as per the guide in my eyes the vertical play was excessive once rebuilt.
When you use electricians tape it doesn't pinch the bearings when you reassemble the gearbox, the tape gets squashed when the bearings press on to it. No slop and it's alot quieter no bull*hit .
If people don't believe it's not needed see me at the last round of Worksop and I'll prove it. Mine has no vertical movement on the centre CVD's.
